Screwed up
So I think I screwed up yesterday. No, I KNOW I screwed up yesterday. I met with this guy who was selling a bada$$ imitation gatorskin SPIKED collar. With all the costuming we do for SciFi, medieval, and steampunk events I coudl not help myself and traded some of my chainmail jewlery for it.
This thing is just plain nasty! the spikes are sharp and there are a lot of them. My Service Dog in Training wore it for about three minutes - right up until she came up to snuggle my daughter! OUCH! Ok, so it is not for my kind of snuggle dogs, but for a SciFi accessory it is great.
So much for background. When hubby got home from work, I was showing it off to him and he, of course, had to put it on as a collar. Well, it didn't look good on him, so I put it on. As a joke, he grabbed it while it was on my neck...
The second I waved him off he stopped, but since then my throat has had sharp stabbing pains about 1/2 inch above the incision area. I think just the couple ounces of pressure has either torn some of the internal stitches, or bruised healing flesh.
Since then I have just felt like crap. My neck hurts - which when I say that I take six vicaden a day for my back pain and I can feel my neck hurting over the top of that - well, it means it hurts bad. I have no energy at all. Washing two loads of laundry and feeding the dogs dinner was too much. Hubby was on his own for dinner.
I have no voice. At a shout I can only be heard about a foot and a half away. I just have no inclination to exert that much energy to try to talk. Now that hubby is home from work, even though his desk is only three feet from mine, I am talking to him over IM. Too tired to talk.
