practice good ergonomics.

So I woke up this morning not being able to move my neck. Not knowing why this was happening, I was freaking myself out. When I tried to move it, well, I couldn't. My whole left side of my neck and upper back were really stiff, but I proceeded with my morning routine because I had to get ready for class. Let me tell you, washing and getting my hair ready was a challenge and getting myself dressed almost didn't happen. I left class at the break and went to Health Services, where I was seen by the doctor who gave me Robax platinum to ease the muscle strain. It's probably from my desk at work...see, as a student, no one adjusts anything for you and they give you the bad desk where your mouse is 'all the way over there' so you have to reach. Anyway, so I went home with my head bent to the right and enjoyed (sarcasm) a bus ride that would have given anyone whip-lash (ow). It dawned on me that I saw this video in Anthro about how in some cultures, they shape babies heads a certain way, and to do that they take these metal coils and make sort of a head band for them. To get my neck back to up-right position, I decided to take my scarf and wrap it around so it was adjusted in the proper position. Well my neck didn't like that too much, and it resulted in a couple heinous muscle spasms - now I just have a scarf on and a sore neck. Hopefully this passes because I can't look down to study...hmm good excuse for a night off.
