Happy New ...yadda yadda

checking search words that led people to my blog today :
moe hay ko and her boyfriend is one and another was: comic pictures of back pain.
Having no clue who Moe Hay Ko is I apologize I didn't come through for you searcher in the Phillipines.
Now comic pictures of back pain..well I'm sure there's something hidden somewhere in this red hot mess I call a blog.

Can't decide if I ruined this painting or not with the neon highlights..anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Bueller?
Anyway, whatever you decide to do to ring in the New Year , be safe and be silly. It's the only way to live.

If the mood or attitude or whatever you're doing on New Years eve indicates the coming years mood for you , then I better get on the stick here and buckle it all down! Yikes!

music of the day: Faces, Battles
food of the day: choke it down patty!
mood of the day: Insomnia's main bitch now, all bets are off, stay out of my way ! HUZZAH!

Maybe....

..this is why I forgot to do a comic the other day.
Let's play catch up , shall we?
So every now and then, Miss Back -Pain decides to rear her ugly head a bit stronger than usual. 'Muddle thru" I say to her, "Muddle thru the day".
Since I have all but done away with hard core pain killers the Dr.s have given me over the years,( Bye-bye mr. percocet, vicoden,oxycotin,etc...), I rely mainly on careful monitoring of my activities, daily yoga, stretching, meditation, and the occasional organic remedy,sometimes they just do NOT do the trick. Only thing to do,save a visit to a chiro, (which now I have none again as he has absconded to the deep woods of ..umm Washington state), is just muddle thru to the other side.

If I'm out somewhere, like the club, or a party, just cuz I'm sitting there watching people etc..doesn't mean I'm not having fun..or, if I leave something early, alot of the times it means either A. I HAVE to sit cuz I can't dance ,or B.The pain is so severe I HAVE to sit down, or all the chairs in the place are throwing my back,neck out and I can't stand anymore.

I'm like a slinky the Dr. said, upon viewing my MRI and X-Rays I had to concur.
Though I can't find the slinky logo anywhere on my spine, I think they are right.Sometimes I can pop myself right back into place.

Some days I kinda "forget" that I have this going on in my body, I have gotten so USED to pain, that a day without ANY comes as a total shock and delightful surprise. Then I have to reel myself in from over doing in the false belief that it is "fixed".

Colorado is a bad state to live in, seems any guy I have been involved with seems to think that everyone should or will go skiing, hiking, mountain climbing,biking etc...
I think it's major when I can run around the park for a while or stand for longer than 3 hours at a time. See where the issues might crawl in? Not that I don't WANT to do those things. ( Heck I was pretty active in my younger days, including swimming every day,free weight lifting ( yeah that prolly didn't help my situation now), lugging around 25 pds. of musical instruments on the hot field in high school marching band...
yadda yadda....

Funny thing , one activity not totally affected by this pain issue , is thankfully, one of the most delightful of activities. Now if I could only GET some of that activity in my life, maybe my back will appreciate the work out... snicker.

Buddah bless Chiropractors....

....I'm on my way for my second visit in a few tics...
Already I feel better..still 'burny, throby"..but
way better than before..I actually slept thru the night
without waking up in shooting pain...

wonderful niece helped me shift up my drafting table
about a foot...should help cut down on my 'slumping"
that is undermining me.

in other news...here is Eric after a few distraught months without
my graceful pressence...yet another heart I have broken,oh so
sadly and cruelly...Better watch out boys, the memory of me will burrow under
your skin and into your soul until it festers there, like a boil...
ready to pop at the most unexpected moment.....



...and will I be there to help clean it up?

food of the day: Dim Sum with niece

This...

...is going to end so badly , I can feel it in mah' deterioratin' BONESSSSSSSS

spending the weekend NOT drawing cuz it hurts to do it is NOT fun.Even less fun is not being able to sleep cuz when you lay down it hurts even more.At least it's my UPPER part of my spine and neck, and not my lower, so it doesn't hurt to walk and stuff.
Just to deep breath, cough, twist, raise arms,turn neck in certain directions..etc..
I can hear clicking as I move and turn and go about my daily duties.

All in all though I am rendered grumpy, moody, tired, tense. I am avoiding heavy duty pain pills cuz I HAVE to go to work this week. Demo. convention and all ...But that bottle is looking better to me each day.
By the way,that's not my X-ray, just something off the web..mine is much uglier.

On the other hand..it's SO lovely outside today, cooler, breezy,sunny...
