Cool song from my bro in law

Hopefully this will work correctly. If it does you should be able to click on the player below to listen to a track my Brother in law Chris recorded last year (I think).

You may have thought that I had a couple of screws loose....

0 comments

Well, it turns out you were right. Well sort of anyway. I have been having a lot more pain in my neck lately, and I was worried that I had done something to damage another part of my back by over compensating for my neck. Well that remains to be seen but in my last visit to the doc for a status check and x-ray. The x-ray showed that one of the screws that are holding the plate in my neck to my bones has backed itself out a little. The doctor said I should not worry too much (that is easy for him to say) but it may be a sign that the bones are not fusing as well as we had hoped. He did however see fit to order another M.R.I. this time of my whole spine (not just my neck, as he had done before). So for now I am just having to up the pain meds for a while until it either clears up on its own or till the doc decides to take some other action. Either way there is not much I can do other then continue the stretching and resistance exercises that I have been doing all along. Hopefully this will be the last problem I have to deal with (with my neck anyway) and I can move on.

Can I tell the future??

0 comments

I have been wondering for a while now if I, that is my physical being, have the ability to foresee the future. I have noticed over the years that I am prone to body aches and pain in my back, neck and other joints just before a major change in atmospheric pressure. However, since first having surgery in 2000 on my spine and more recently last November having another similar operation in almost the same area, this acute sense has become even more sensitive. I have heard of other people who have the same sort of experience, but they usually say it is the rain or the snow or something like that. I however, feel that it is not the rain itself that is causing my discomfort but rather any change at all in the barometric pressure. I guess I am not 100% sure as to how it works but I am trying to pay closer attention to it and it just so happens that last Friday I was in a particularly great amount of pain (more then usual anyway) and I mentioned to my wife and her parents while we were at dinner that there must be a hell of a storm headed our way. The next couple of days saw a rare and historical event here in Atlanta, tornadoes!!! There were at least 3 for sure but the news stations have said that there may have actually been more. I guess from now on I will really try to remember to pay attention to my body's internal barometer and adjust my plans accordingly.

I would appreciate any feedback that may come to mind if you have had a minute to go and try out my new website "My Daily Thread" we have put a lot of time and energy into it but as with any new venture there is always room for improvement. Stop in and take a look, create an account (it's free of course) post some of your own "threads" and have fun reviewing and rating other peoples items. We have also written a companion app for Facebook that synchs up to MDT. Please try it out and tell your friends to check it out too.

Thanks a lot!!
