Neck issues

Soooo, I don’t know what I did to offend my neck but for some reason it is really screwed up right now. I woke up yesterday, after sleeping for a much needed 11 hours, and it was a little stiff but not bad. However as the day progressed it became more and more tight. I had some issues with it about two weeks ago where it was sore and tight between my shoulder blades but some ibuprofen and an icy hot patch cleared it up. No such results this time, the patch that I had on yesterday might as well have not been there for all the good it did, and the relief the ibuprofen brought was short lived. I had a co-worker of mine who is trained in massage work on it for a little while last night after I got off work and that seemed to help for a bit, but it seemed that a couple of hours later after the ibuprofen wore off that it was just as bad if not worse. I don’t know it I just slept on it funny or what. I can’t think of anything else that I could have done to screw it up so badly. It’s pretty bad though, I was only able to sleep for about four hours last night because I could not get comfortable and every time I would turn over or move the pain from my neck would wake me up. I think I am going to go see the doc this morning and see if he can give me a stronger muscle relaxer or something because I can’t work like this. The latter half of my day at work yesterday was pretty hard and I don’t want to have to go through that again. If you all would be praying for my neck that would be awesome and I would really appreciate it. Hopefully it is not anything serious and will be better soon.
On a happier note, Thanksgiving was great. Even though I had to work that day we had so much extra help in the kitchen that the day just flew by. Mostly everyone takes part in making the day happen, from cutting veggies and potatoes two days before to helping make pies the night before to carving the turkeys and getting the dining room set up the day off, there are lots of volunteers that made the day happen with minimal stress to everyone. Our dining room will not accommodate everyone on station so we have three dinners spaced out an hour and a half apart starting with a half hour appetizer time out in the hallway. It was amazing to see the transformation that the dining room went though in the course of about two hours. Cardboard was put up in all the windows to block out the light and make it feel like it was dark outside, there were linens and candles on the tables and pretty Christmas lights strung all the way across the ceiling. It was beautiful. Carol and I sat down for the last seating, for about a half hour, before going back to the kitchen to finish cleaning up. We were out of there by eight thirty though so that was really nice. After the last dinner was over, the table got pushed back, music was turned on and everyone just hung out enjoying their night off. I was pretty tired though and did not stay up too late, I wandered out to my room at about eleven thirty and was in bed by midnight. All in all it was a very good thanksgiving.
