I'm gonna see if Scott's remedy will fix me up.

I went to the physical therapist today, who ostensibly was testing the disks in my neck and the big trunk nerves that branch out and run down my left arm. After torturing me for several minutes, he sent a cold chill down my spine by uttering the words "neuro-surgeon."

Ha. No one, short of a vampire, is going to get anything sharp that close to my neck. Dream on.

It seems that it is Not A Good Thing that this problem should rear its head again after 9 years of absence. The therapist shook his head (a mocking gesture, since I can't), and told me that I may have the worst job possible for this particular injury. Seems my mail satchel presses directly on the angry C5 and C6 nerves. Seems that the turning and twisting and stretching hundreds of times a day keeps these ingrate nerves in a state of high dudgeon.

Well, screw'em! Do these nerves think I'm gonna let them tell me what to do?

Ow ow ow ow ow, hey, I was just kidding, of course you can call all the shots around here......
