Sneeze and Snap

Good Morning Bleeps.

So I have been attacked this week - by a sneeze. Yes you read that correctly, a bloody sneeze has knocked me on my arse.

Friday morning I was getting ready to climb out of bed as I had a business meeting with potential new clients. I was taking stock of what was happening in my body and apart from my heavy, lead legs I was feeling like it was going to be an OK day. Well, apart from the fact that I had to cancel my Body Balance class because of the meeting, I do hate when business gets in the way of my Yoga classes!

I was literally lifting my head off the pillow to get up when AAAACHOOO and "snap". As my head flew forward with the sneeze, something pinged in my neck or back. I can't be certain where exactly but what I did know is that I couldn't move. I couldn't turn my head, move my neck or even get out of bed. OMG!

I have somehow managed to trap a nerve or pull a muscle somewhere in my neck and or between my shoulder blade and I am now on day six of torture. For those of you that may be familiar with the TV show Red Dwarf, my children have nicknamed me Kryton as I am moving like a robot.

Ironically, the new clients that decided to go ahead with a new website (of course, I am brilliant ha ha) are cameramen and one of them worked on the recent series of Red Dwarf! The Universe has a sick sense of humour sometimes.

I have tried to get relief from heat pads, pain killers and heat rubs but nothing has really worked. I have kept going to yoga as I was to keep moving and stretching, my guess is that if I am inactive then I may cease up entirely. I am not sure if it has helped but it certainly hasn't hurt and I love it so it would take a lot for me to stop going.

My yoga instructor showed me a lovely stretch that does seem to help a little. I have a bit more movement in my head today (four days on) so I am hopeful that it won't drag on for too long.

I do know that I will not be doing any headstands for a while.

So enough about me, how are YOU?
