It's hard not to be a little paranoid about it, but better to be alert than to leave things unchecked.
I hope I've just pinched a nerve through sleeping awkwardly, but I'm not in any pain. I'm due for another MRI in January, I'm hoping it will continue to show improvements.
This is all very ironic because I read a bedtime story to the boys last night about some sailors who were shipwrecked on an island inhabited by beautiful women who fed them wonderful food. When they asked the women why there were no men on the island. The women said they'd all gone away. The sailors never wanted to leave,until one night,a sailor heard someone talking outside his room, and he looked outside to see some goblins, who were saying they needed to feed the sailors until they were nice and fat, and then they'd feed on them.
The sailor told his shipmates, and they all prayed for help from the gods, which came in the form of a winged horse, who was to carry them all away. One sailor didn't believe that the beautiful women were really goblinsin disguise, so he refused to leave, no matter how much his friends pleaded with him. As the giant horse was flying them away from the island, the sailors heard their friend calling to them. He had seen the goblins preparing a big pot for their feast. He wanted to be rescued.
The moral of the story, conveniently included in the book, was that it's sometimes hard to see that you're in a difficult situation, but that you can't fix it if you don't acknowledge the reality.
It would be nice if a winged horse would come and take all my problems away, but all I can do is keep meditating, staying grounded in the present, and hoping for good health and happiness for every sentient being. As well as eating healthily, exercising, maintaining contact with friends and family, and taking my medications on time.
I'm hoping this tingling is just transitory, will see if I can fix it with a massage.
Take care, and thanks for reading.
