Colleen is the BOMB!

So my woes of sleeping wrong did not end yesterday. By about 3pm I felt like it was getting worse, my shoulder and neck were stiff as a rock, I could no longer turn my head without excruciating pain. I attempted to call a friend of Jodi & Troys, who has his own massage locale here in Dallas, but alas, he was booked. I was forced to go to the Texas Institute of Massage, which ended up not sucking totally. I paid $40 for a one hour massage with an actual graduate, so he knew what he was doing. He concentrated on my neck and shoulder.

I left feeling pretty good, but about 1/2 way home I realized that it indeed was no better, it hurt like a mother fucker. Luckily I had been IM'ing all day w/my WONDERFUL and AMAZING friend Colleen (she still works at my old company) and she offered up some Darvocet. I had never taken Darvocet, so had no idea of it's effects on me, but hellz yeah to the 'scripts!

So she left them and some bath salts in her mailbox (she also only lives about 2 miles from me) as she and her hubby (who also works at the old company) had dinner plans. I stopped by their place and grabbed my loot out of the mailbox.

I got home and took a Darvocet about 8pm, the rest is hazy at best....

I'm pretty sure I went to bed around 9:30, but again, coulda been sooner, coulda been later, doesn't really matter.

I remember about an hour into it, I really started feeling the effects, as I could move my neck and arms, could feel that without the meds, that it would have still hurt like a bitch, but with the meds, I could stretch and such, knowing I needed to do this, to relieve the pain.

I believe I texted her at around 9pm and told her that Darvocet Rocks, and should I take another? Thank god I didn't, I'd still be in bed, in a coma! I also decided at this point, that although a bath with the bath salts she left me would have been wonderful, but I was afraid I'd pass out and drown in my own tub. I really don't want to be found naked when I die.

So in conclusion,

COLLEEN ROCKS, COLLEEN ROCKS, COLLEEN ROCKS, COLLEEN ROCKS!!!!!

Dr Suz says you need to get a neck/back transplant. I'm putting you on the donor's list.

For those of you who are concerned, I'm almost completely back to normal today. Still a bit stiff, but have full function of my head again! Yay!
