Hello folks. I wanted to give a little update on why I have been away recently.
As many of you know and some of you may not, I broke my neck in 2007 and have suffered with chronic pain since then. Imagine a combination of toothache and severe cramp from back of skull down to shoulder. The only pain medication that worked made me almost a zombie, so I stopped taking it in favour of being able to function. My neck has deteriorated and pain worsened over the last year or so and I therefore had an X-Ray. The results have shown:
Degenerative changes C4/C5 with disc height reduction.
Bone spurs C4/C5, C5/C6, and C6/C7.
I have gone back on the zombie medication, but at a lower dose, and after almost 20 years of pain, it is like someone has flicked a switch. I still feel a bit trippy at times and my train of thought gets derailed occasionally, but at least I have an excuse for that now!
Should be back to playing more regularly after a weekend away.
Love you guys and gals.
