a real pain in the neck.

Literally.
I've been dealing with a stiff neck for the past...almost 2 weeks now. I defied it and ignored it all last week. Stocking up on Motrin and Tylenol, trying to just ignore the thing. I mean seriously, a stiff neck for more than a day or two?? Come on! Then on Saturday the pain and stiffness progressed and actually brought me to tears. I just wanted my mommy! Sunday I patched it again with some high doses of Tylenol. But by Sunday night I couldn't even sleep. I couldn't sit, stand or lie down without being in excruciating pain. So Monday morning I set off to the Doc. He gave me some muscle relaxers. I do feel better. But dang, I still don't feel good. It still hurts. I'm still taking the pain meds. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever be back to normal.
Ok, I will not whine about it any longer. Just wanted blogland to know what was up.
For your viewing pleasure,here is a slide show of a few pics of the ranch that I took on Sunday. Lots of wild flower naturey stuff :)

The chiropractor is good advice. After my car wreck, I was going weekly for massage therapy, and it felt wonderful, but Jennifer told me if I didn't get my "alignment" right, I would never feel good again. I was skeptical of the "bone cracker" as my dad calls them, but let me tell you, they can make that crick in your neck go away! Don't let them talk you into x-rays and such, just tell them you need an alignment! Just like a car.

first of all - really hope you are feeling better!! went through some bad neck pain myself last year (think it was from constantly having william on my hip) and went to the chiropracter - did wonders!
also love the photos - especially the one of pete and the kids by the pond!! Also wondering what that mama pig would think about your commenting on her one boob :)
