Ever feel that way about any body part??? Like your head???

When they started doing the nuclear bone scans, one of the areas that had uptake in my bone was the occipital area of my skull…

Keep in mind, I have no memory of injuries, only ghost of memories that intersected my nights… So, I would call Freda (mom) and asks questions and relay that information to the military doctors trying to figure out why I had so much pain all over, but my tests were all negative, except for the uptake in my bone through out my whole body!!!

From 1972 till 1985, they did those tests and decided, I had Paget’s… where the bone builds upon it’s self and gets bigger and thicker… Well they sent us back to America on humanitarian and the specialist took one look at me in 1988 and said, “you don’t have Paget’s”… Don’t know what you got, but that’s not it…

So I go on with living, meet Homer and work and thrive and marry and I tell Homer about my skull getting thicker and yea you betcha he had jokes about it, until it dawned on him, I wasn’t joking and I was having lots of pain…

So we fast forward to 2019, when MRI’s finally get done, with contrast and low and behold…

I have damage to C1- through C7 and have had said damage, since I was a toddler…

You want to know how lousy USA health care is??? It took from 1972 to 2019 for me to get answers and I had a memory trigger in 2017… Yea, college educated, degree’s and licenses don’t make you smart, but they get you loads of our money!!!

What is this about???

I spend every day, moving the C1 through C7 vertrabrae back into place, just so I can bend my neck or turn my neck or flex my neck and I have lived with that… yep, since Freda injured my spinal cord before I was 2 years old and I served in the military!!!!

I needed to whine a bit… last night around 7PM, the weather picked up again and by the time we crawled in bed, we had our own little circus of lights and booms and lots and lots of water… so sleep and my neck are not in the right frame of mind…

Ya know, when Homer teased me about my neck, it was the first 10 years of marriage and by the time we hit 20 years, he knew, because his self awareness had blossomed… but still, I don’t tease anyone about any pain or emotion or mental or anything, because…

I have so much in my own life, why would I do that to another human???

I remember…
