Physician Heal Thyself

Woke up this morning and developed a horrible spasm down the left, back side of my neck. It goes into my upper back and towards my shoulder a little. No numbness or tingling in my hand yet.

I get this once in a while if I don't get enough sleep, or if I'm coming down with a viral infection. Or if I'm under stress. I think it's a combination of staying up late trying to get these blasted DVDs made, plus the fact that it was so cold last night that I spent all night shivering.

So now I'm walking around with my neck bent to the front and left, like Igor.

Funny part is I've seen 3 people so far today with neck pain, and I'm trying desparately not to let on that I have the exact same problem.

Take a hint from your own nom-de-blom: PT can also mean physical therapy. Why heal *yourself* when someone else can literally give you a hand? It's always worked for me.

And pile on an extra blanket.

My office is always open.

No offense, Dilbert, but that's the most frightening thing anyone has ever said to me.

Having seen a number of herniated cervical disks this past month, the thought of going on disability scares the shlitz out of me.

But I'm a little better this morning. Ah....Shabbos....
