fisheees

[dragonlady7]

Z always greets the fish in their tank in our living room with a high-pitched "hi fisheees!"
They never answer; they flail around and make rude gestures. They're bastards like that.


This morning, which is, if you remember, my Monday, I have not only a continuation of the pain in my neck from yesterday (a very thin sharp pain running down the left side of the back of my neck and extending well down into the shoulder blade) but also... out of nowhere, I have laryngitis. I felt fine when I went to bed last night, and now my goddamn voice is mostly gone and my throat feels like it's been scraped out with something.
Dude, WTF.

Well, at least nobody will be snarky with me about having called in sick on Monday, if I look and sound this much like hell three damn days later.
Scant consolation, but what can you do.

Sounds like a pinched nerve in the neck. I get those often if I sleep with my head at an odd angle. Only thing I can suggest is an ibuprofen and light massage of that shoulder to help take the pressure off the nerve. Either that or a hot bath. Anything to get the muscles in that area to loosen up.

Oh, hey, thanks.

An illicit Canadian codeine and an hour with a heating pad later, I'm feeling a bit better. Good advice!
