So I was writing along, minding my own business and happily ahead of schedule on a deadline, when life threw me a curveball. I woke up one morning with pain in my neck. It worsened over the following days until I ended up in the ER. Two-plus weeks later (wherein I’ve accomplished nothing on my book or most other tasks and do a lot of spontaneous moaning), I have begun physical therapy to treat cervical radiculopathy.
And thus ends my scheduled post. I do hope I will have ceased to moan by the time of my next post.

So sorry, Robin. Praying for healing and peace. Those curveballs are not fun.
God bless,

I was diagnosed with that last year (degenerative disc plus a bone spur) and went through PT. That pain is very real. I can do most things now, including workouts, without any problem. Walking first thing in the morning helps a lot. Just letting you know that I commiserate with you!
I’m so sorry Robin.
I hope you are feeling better, Robin. You have been in Ken and my prayers every morning this week. (Ken has been-there-done-that with the pinched nerve and can attest that it is excruciating!) Please get better! You’re in our prayers!
I’m so sorry, Robin! Neck pain is awful! Praying you recover soon!
Prayers for relief soon and back to normal activities quickly, Robin!
I am praying for you, Robin1 I hope we’ll soon hear sighs of relief as you heal.
