So, I've been in rehab for a few weeks now and all this time I've saying to myself, "Self, this isn't great, but it's not as bad as I thought it'd be". Well, I had another conversation with self today and it went like this, "Self, this COMPLETELY sucks", and I've been saying that all day.
Here's the long and short of it. Because of the way I fell, one of my vertebrae were pushed forward. To "align" it, they had to pull my neck forward and put it in traction in the halo. Now my head sits way in front of my shoulders (reminds me of a very old woman with osteoperosis). Today, while in therapy, they decided that I was "strong" enough to start working on moving my head back on top of my shoulders. That's right, they're going to try to reposition my head!!! So, I'm doing all these stretches, isometric resistance training, chin tucks...all this stuff to get my head back over my shoulders. Let me tell you, after one day, I'm not sure that I wouldn't mind looking like a little old lady. I haven't even had a day to get sore yet and I already feel like crap. Stay tuned for tomorrow's report.
That's all for today. Everyone enjoy the nice weather!!!
