Please remove the icepick from my Cerebellum

If you come here often enough you know that my posts are random, eclectic, and at time just totally off the wall.

That is what this blog is for me, a place to say what is on my mind. In my words. When I feel like it.

Lately I have been pretty quiet. Mostly because I have been working on some web sites that I will be announcing in the near future, but also, because since March of this year, I have been struggling with some of the most intense headaches I have ever experienced in my lifetime. WOW that’s a long sentence!!!

I have had Dr visits, MRI’s (that only took 8 months to get!), and medications to determine their cause.

Bottom line, they are being caused by degeneration in my C4 thru C6 vertebrae, pinching of a nerve, and tension of the muscles that surround my head (feels like I have had my hair put in a ponytail by a sadist.)

My Neurologist and I agree that surgery is not an option at this point. Him because he does not feel it necessary. Me because I simply don’t want cut open at this point.

For the most part, we have tamed them down to a dull pain and slight pressure in and around my eyes. Today is not one of those days. It seems that the colder it is outside, the worse it gets. Today (as I type this) I am sitting in my ‘man cave’ in the silence of the morning waiting for my medicine to kick in. I took the medicine that works the best, but sadly it puts me to sleep, so I had to miss yet ANOTHER day of work. Oh, how I long for the time when we can start working from home again.

So there you have it boys and girls.
