Pain in the neck

Sorry for the lack of posts here lately. I've had a nasty flare-up of my spinal arthritis and cervical spondylosis, and didn't want to write a pile of 'woe is me' type posts. It's still very painful, but rather than sit around feeling sorry for myself, I'm off to do something positive. I'm going to ask the lady who lives downstairs to look after Jake for a couple of hours, whilst I go to town in search of orthopaedic pillows and essential oils. I think doing something positive is a lot more empowering against a painful medical complaint, than simply sitting around whingeing about it.
