Awaiting the Results

You know how much I enjoyed that MRI?  Well, I got to go have another one yesterday!  During the 1st one, they just did my mid-back.  Right at the top, it looked like there might be something so I had to go back and have my neck done.  I was smarter this time and got some drugs to help get me through it.  They seemed to help and I was also only in the tube as far as my knees which was nice because I could still see out.  The MRI technician said there's definitely a bulging if not herniated disk in my neck.  Hope for the bulging because herniated disks could need surgery.  Even though this disk isn't where my pain is it could still be the cause.  My shoulder issues are really muscle knots so its possible the muscles are being pulled weird because of the bad disk.  I should have an official report from my Dr. by the end of the day.

Taking matters into my own hands, I bit the bullet and bought an expensive TempurPedic pillow.  This past week, Ray took one of the pillows out of the shams and started using it since ours have broken down so badly.  Somehow, mine got switched with his and my shoulders have been feeling better.  It kills me to spend this much money on a pillow but I'm considering it an investment.  After all, I'm spending tons of money on the chiropractor every week so hopefully this will help alleviate some of that expense!  I did enjoy sleeping on it last night.  The pillow's also guaranteed for 3 years which is better than having to replace a cheap one every 6 months.
