Pain in the neck...literally!

Wow, you really don't know head pain until it makes you fall to your knees in utter agony. Or at least that's my experience today. I don't know what's wrong with my head. Every so often I get these shooting pains in the back of my neck that result in a pain that feels like my brain is trying to claw it's way out of my skull, good visual eh? Anyway, with that pain being the dominant thing in my day, it made it extremely difficult to concentrate on anything constructive, which made school at 7am kinda hard to follow. Little did I know that I was working on an actual piece of my final in my english class, I thought it was another practice round...nope, it's getting graded like a final, and I know I totally bombed it. So, that made me happy(sarcasm). And after that, work was really fun, because it's very physically involved, so lifting my arms, and turning my neck and things like that really made me want to be sick.

Having this much pain is a new experience to me and not very enjoyable. So I left work early, grumbling to my manager that I was leaving. She didn't seem very surprised, nor did she stop me, she knows that I did what I needed to do, and after that I was free to go. I took a muscle relaxent before I got off work, and thank goodness it decided not to take effect until I got home, because I ended up falling on my bed as soon as I came home and didn't move for about 2 hours. I was in a weird, drug induced state of mind, had funky dreams, but was lucid enough to observe that it didn't deaden my head pain any. I was really in a funk at this point, cuz I was kinda hoping it was something simple like a pinched nerve, but with all the medication I was doped up on, it should have done something, but it didn't, so now I'm a little worried about what it might be. After waking up and realizing that it was still there, I noticed that it wasn't so bad if I didn't move so much, I got on my computer.

'A' came online and started talking to me immediately because I was planning on coming over to his place after work, but decided to change my mind due to the words of caution from my mother about how maybe he still needed his space. So, ok, but I noticed that when I called to cancel, he seemed kinda sad about it. Anyway, so he hopped online, and we started chatting, well I told him that I was hurting, and I wanted some pampering because I hated being alone and hurting (hey, who wants to be alone like that??), so I innocently asked him if he was good at pampering a hurting woman, and he said that he was pretty darn good as far as he knew. Next thing I know, he's on his way up here to pick me up, knowing fully well that my apartment resemble hurricane Ivan came throught it...twice due to the fact that I'm moving, and that he was going to whisk me away for a nice evening of pampering, in which he knew I never really got any of because I'm usually the "pamperer" not the "pamperee". So he got here, and wrapped his arms around me, and I told him my head hurt, and he chuckled and asked me if ice cream would help. Oh hell ya!!

So I ended up having a lovely evening full of nice cuddling and backrubs with a hot fudge sunday for 2. Ahhhh...it's good to have nice guy friends! Well, I guess the medication has worn off, so I must sleep, because even though the pain is now only a dull thud in the back of my head, I still feel that being unconscious is the best method! Cheers!
