Stiff Neck

Darn, I woke up with a stiff neck this morning right before my alarm went off. So today, I called in sick because I can't even lift myself out of bed this morning. Can't even roll myself otherwise I'll smooshed my dear Natnat. Uls had to support my head (imagine carrying a newborn) to lift me up since I need to use the bathroom. It was so painful. I took tylenol for pain, its the only thing I can take and not to exceed 4/day per my Dr. I usually get this when I'm really really stressed and I have my handy dandy muscle relaxant to take but can't take it this time.

My stiff neck could be for so many reasons. Maybe I slept funny-I wonder how? the only sleeping position is either my left/right side and lying on my back. We bought the tempur pedic pillow and so far haven't had it until now, that's been a while. Stress? I don't think so...I'm good, I think :) or maybe cold air hits the muscle aka 'nalamigan'. It was cold this morning because I woke up with having just the end of the blanket barely covering half of my body. Uls took it all on his side-he does this all the time. Sometimes I had to pin the blanket down on my side so he can't take it all away.

Anyway, I spent all day taking naps, giving my neck a hot compress which I'm still doing right at this moment. I think my skin's all red from the heat of the bag LOL...mamaya it'll be all wrinkly and old.

I wonder how long this would take this time without any muscle relaxant. It could be days. It's going to be difficult to work on patients tomorrow...Good luck to me!
