Nov 22
6:30a – took melatonin around 1:30 bc I was still wide awake.
Woke with rt hip throbbing, low back throbbing, base of neck achs, both ears ringing, chest hurting, hands swollen and achy, stuffy nose.
Took cinnamon rolls out of fridge and set in warm oven to rise. Guys are out hunting. Praying they get a deer or two. Jakob’s bday is today.

Revlation 12:10-11 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Thankful that we have the power to overcome any obstacle in our lives. God is so good!

Neck stretch exercises can help to moderate the impact of the condition and alleviate pain or feelings of stiffness. However, they will not cure cervical spondylosis.
