Ever heard of "Military Neck"?

Well, I hadn't until I went back to the ER here in town last week. After having an X-Ray, the ER Dr. brought them back to me to show me that my biggest problem is having no cervical curve that you should have. He didn't do much for me and said that it wasn't good but it wasn't totally bad either. I have been searching the internet trying to find out what to do about it. No luck yet. I went for my second massage yesterday and told her about everything and she said she had heard of it. She worked really hard on my neck muscles and showed me new ways to sleep. She said I might have to keep adjusting until I find the right position. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Amy's Dance Recital

Amy's dance recital was this past weekend. She did a marvelous job!

UAB is the worst hospital EVER!

Yesterday, around 3, I was cooking chili and wasn't doing anything to injure myself but while I was at the stove, stirring my chili, my neck started hurting so badly and I couldn't move it. So, I call my doctor but she wasn't in and the lady I talked to told me to go to the Emergency Room. So I called Judy to ask her to drive me since I couldn't really turn to look and stuff and she said she would.
I went to Judy's, she, Dennis, and I left around 6 to go to UAB ER. We got there a little before 7 last night.
We sat in the waiting room until 10ish before they called me back. When the doctor came in, he started asking me what happened, blah, blah, blah. Then he says, "Well, it sounds like muscle problems so just start taking double dose of the Flexeril and I'll have a nurse come in with the pain medication prescription."
He left the room. The longer I sat there, the more I thought about what all had happened and the more ticked off I got. With UAB supposedly being one of the "best" around, I thought, 'shouldn't they have looked into it further than just throwing some pills at me and letting me go'. So I put on my clothes and left. I didn't wait around for a prescription. If I had wanted pills, I wouldn't have driven all that way to get them. I could have gotten that here in Sylacauga.
I'm still hurting and still can't move my head around. I plan on going to the chiro today and paying a little money to get him to try and pop it back into place. Usually, when I have done that in the past, it has only made it worse but I don't know what else to do. I am also calling my so-called doctor today and telling her what happened and cancelling my appointment with her for next week because she is going to do the same thing. I don't have the gas money to waste to go there for them to not do anything for me.
I just wanted to post this, hoping that alot of people will search for stuff about UAB and I am hoping it will show up in the searches.
Hope the rest of you have better luck and a better day than I have.

At church that is. We are making a lot of progress on our church building. The roof is now complete!




Andrew, Amy and I were in a play today at church called the Sea of Galalie. It was fun!

New Roof on a Rainy Day

Well, Everyone has asked for a picture of the roof. I just took it.
I know the house needs washing but I don't have anythting to wash it with.
Maybe one day I will have a pressure washer. But as of right now, if you don't like it, don't look at it. :^)

Let's all Pray for Mama

Let's all really pray hard for Mama to get better. She hasn't felt good in a really long time. I don't know about ya'll, but I am ready to see her feeling better. I hate to see her like this. I don't know what we would all do without her, she, in my opinion, is the Matriarch of our family, so to say. So let's just really pray hard for her this week, so maybe she will start to feel better.

Love you all,
Kendra
