My doctor called yesterday because she received part of the results of my MRI. Turns out I have a bulging disc in my neck area on the right side. I at first thought, oh, that maybe could explain the tendonitis I’m having in my shoulder but that’s my left side. Unless they consider the right side when they are viewing in front of you in which case their right is my left. Then my doctor said maybe that could explain some…

I would up either back at his office, on steroids or at an MRI usually all 3. Over the past week I’ve been waking up feeling like I smoked a pack of cigarettes the day before.
