not for the weak stomached...

*** disclaimer: if you have a weak stomach i wouldn't read any further. sorry, but this is life.

so as most of you loyal readers know, i had a pretty doosie of a car accident in september 2008. Since the accident, I have had pain in my neck day in and day out, not much relief. Anyways, I have learned to deal with it hurting all the time. Recently my neurosurgeon recommended steroid injections or a cervical disc fusion. Surgery is pretty painful. I opted for the injections. I stupidly assumed that they would give me 2 shots- one in my neck and one in my muscle that has been spasmmed since the accident. Wrong! I received approximately 8-10 injections in my neck and muscle. It has been very sore! I think it will help. I go back this coming Monday and the next Monday. I found out today that I will receive the same amount of shots each time. Hope it helps!!!!
I thought you all should know what is going on.
I snapped a photo of my injections when i found them...


to go along with my word of the year, I WILL get better!!!
love!
