Not much to report

There really hasn't been a lot to blog about lately. Talking about your health is a bore. The worst thing about having a broken neck is not being able to do a full workout. I miss the exercise. It turns out I do have early stage oesteoporosis. Now I'm on meds for that and the arthritis so both conditions are managable.

We were standing naked at the bathroom mirrors this morning when Dark turned and said I looked like an uncut penis in my flesh colored neck brace. ... Not the first time I've been called a prick.

Brokeneck Mountain

The bf and I went rock climbing last weekend. big mistake I have been rock climbing before and really enjoyed it. This was the first time for the bf. While demonstrating what not to do I managed to fall about 10 feet and hurt my neck. By Monday it was hurting bad enough to send me to the doctor for x-rays.

The doctor called back the same day with the x-ray results. It seems I have a minor compression fracture or in other words a broken neck. Luckily I didn’t do more damage by not immobilizing the neck and seeking medical attention immediately. I was referred to an orthopaedist who did an MRI and then put me in a cervical brace. I’ll be in a neck brace for the next six weeks.

Six weeks? Six weeks in a neck brace? The worst thing about it is the thing matches nothing in my wardrobe. I need to slipcover the thing or something. I should check around; maybe Armani or Dolce & Gabbana make one with a little more style. Or maybe I should opt for a leather one with studs.

The really bad news is that the x-rays also showed I have arthritis in the neck and possible thinning of the cervical vertebrae. I go for a bone mass density test on the 24th to determine if I have early osteoporosis. Crap! I am becoming my parents. These conditions bother me more than a broken neck. A cervical fracture heals but arthritis and osteoporosis are chronic.
Pity party? Table for one? Jeez I feel old today. I’m going back to bed.
