Back to Work...Sorta

I saw my local doctor today and she released me to go back to work...I'm just not supposed to drive until I see Dr. Oro on December 3rd. Basically, I'm allowed to work from home.

She told me to stop being chicken and start turning my head so my muscles don't spasm. What she failed to consider is that muscle spasms seem normal to me. So I'm going to start moving my neck around more and improve the flexibility.

As of this upcoming Tuesday, I can start lifting 15 pounds - that means I can start loving the puddy properly - YAY!

This is just my story of my experience with Chiari. Until I was diagnosed, I'd never heard of it, and I just want more people to be aware of it. I'm not a doctor, so don't quote me on any of this stuff - k? If you are looking for information about Chiari Malformation, a lot of the more informative posts are the older ones.
