Apparently it’s not my head that’s the problem but my neck.  I went to the dr. for some pain meds and he treated me like I was an addict looking for him to supplement my habit.  Seriously I’ve never been so frustrated in my life.  He gave me a shot in the butt of something that knocked me out cold for 6 hours.  But when I woke up?  I still had a headache.

So the next day I went to the chiropractor and he adjusted my neck- and the headache was immediately gone.  Unfortunately it came back by the next morning.  He adjusted me again and it came back again but faster that time.  That day I was in charge of the main course part of a  Relief Society progressive dinner for 7 women.  So I had to be up and cooking and cleaning.  I fed them and then was going to go to bed, but they convinced me to go to the church for dessert- so I did.  I was complaining explaining my plight to a lady in my ward and it turned out she had some muscle relaxers she wasn’t using.  I know sharing prescriptions is bad- but I was hurting in a bad way.

I woke up the next morning headache free- but my neck seems unable to hold up my head.  So I’ve been mostly laying flat for the last week now. I’m not in pain as long as I’m laying down.  I’m not sure what to do now, who to see to fix my problem.  The chiropractor seemed like a temporary fix that didn’t last long. Maybe it just needs rest and ice?  Which is what I’ve been doing.

In other news- Corinne is fascinated with the potty all of a sudden.  She likes to take her diaper off and sit on the toilet for hours at a time.  I’m not ready to potty train her!  I’ve decided that we’re waiting until she’s 3 1/2 to tackle it.  Unfortunately no one has told her this.  Regarding the above about my neck- I’m not in a physical position to keep up with taking her potty or  to keep up with the excess laundry that comes with a potty training child.
