Day 2-64 -- Just Hanging Out

My neck has been very sore for almost a month. MD advice this week prescribed massage and use of a cervical traction device.  Now this thing looks like it comes straight from the Spanish Inquisition. I had my physio demonstrate the thing -- good thing because the instructions are similar to those that come with Ikea furniture -- they and the accompanying line drawings come from the mind of a minimalist. I suspect that one could actually worsen a neck injury if this is not done correctly, so I find it odd that the instructions are so sparse.  It is a pulley system that goes over a door. The harness is a bit cumbersome --proving once again that the one-size-fits-all concept is a fallacy.

I tried this for 15 minutes this evening and it created a bit of a headache from the harness. I'll try to readjust things in the morning and try again.  It definitely is a learned behaviour <smile>. While sitting there 'stretching' a song ran through my head (sometimes I worry <grin>).  It seemed a perfect song for the confusion surrounding the situation. It is sung by a favourite group from childhood and co-written by a singer-songwriter I encountered in adulthood. Love the sound of the banjo and that amazing Gretsch. Enjoy!
