Bumps

Bumps, not the mumps. Remember when there was a recent mumps spread in the Midwest earlier this year? A person's glands would swell up around his or her neck if they had the mumps.

I woke up one morning and realized that that the back of my head was hurting. This was new, kinda scary, and a matter of concern. The thought was that these bumps were glands that were swelling up to help my body fight something. We thought this for quite awhile.

But, this is what I think now it most likely was.
The bottom bone on my head was swelling from stress. Heat stress...life stress...travel stress...etc. The muscles attach to the ligaments, which attach to the bones. Well the body sees them as one unit (so the chiropractor explained to me). The muscles I suppose try to deal with the stress and pass it on to the other parts of my body.

The stress ended up at the bottom bone of my head, and affected my sleeping, thinking, and so on.

Anyways, Thanks for the prayers :) Hopefully the stretches that the chiro gave me to do will continue to help.
