physical therapy


After suffering from a bad neck for 5 weeks, I finally did it: threw the neck and shoulders out completely. I have survived, mostly from physical therapy, chiropractor and drugs. I somehow got some work done today, mostly grading papers. I am home in a drug induced stupor and plan to take it easy.

I am feeling better, but still on the medication. I cant get over how tense my shoulders were, still are. the semester is over and i plan to take it easy this summer, lose weight, exercise, get lots of sleep. being a college prof is not a hard job (once you get tenure) but in many ways i make it hard by volunteering to be chair of dept, by writing, by going to conferences. Today I am lounging around, will drive to pittsburgh to see a movie about Che Guevaro (Che Part 1) in pittsburgh. best wishes, mark
