Back From Vacation

…and in pain. I’ve been having problems with my neck and shoulder for about a week now, and it didn’t clear up for the weekend, so it marred our trip up the coast. I’m going to see an orthopedic sports specialist about it this morning, but blogging will likely be light until I get it under control.

In the meantime, go read Rick Tumlinson’s latest rant about NASA dropping methane from its CEV requirements. I find little with which to disagree.

[Update in the afternoon, after a trip to the doctor’s office]

They X-rayed my head, and found nothing. But that’s not important now.

The key thing is, when they X-rayed my neck, it revealed a slightly compressed disk, but the sawbones recommended a course of oral cortisone, and expected that to clear it up in a few days.
