Baby steps

Today I worked for SIX HOURS.

SIX!

I sat at a desk, dressed semiprofessionally, and did WORK!

I drove my gigantically unnecessary rental car all the way there and all the way back! And I didn't freak out or hurt too badly. I did ache. But ache is not a dealbreaker. Not in this town. Nosireebob!

After that six hours I went to the chiropractor and got crunched and then got rolled out like pizza dough by a massage therapist. (blog post to come on this experience.)

And after two, TWO appointments, I'm starting to feel like my pre-accident self. It is not perfect, but I can turn my head! Like, almost all the way that it's supposed to turn! In both directions!

Now, if I could get rid of this base-of-skull pounding and neckache, I'd be all set. Aaaaaalll set.
