Awww. Anne Marie, I'm sorry you are hurting. Hugs across the miles, and a kiss on the forehead. Well, let's face it, our head is the center of our universe and it's a darn fantastic place what with eyes, and ears, and all that thinking we have to do, and everything! Now, if some stupid thing goes haywire in there, our poor wee heads aren't very happy. Doctors specialize now and don't think about the whole body healing, or something along those lines. Maybe we need to build our own AN Spa Resort, where we can learn things, and get massages, and pedicures, and float in the warm water, and be pampered. We'd have Tai Chi and Yoga and healthy foods and soothing Yanni music and green tea and meditation and group therapy in the afternoon, and a bubbling brook to walk beside and it'd just be wonderful. *sigh* So go there in your mind, while you lay down and rest for a little bit, and just imagine yourself in a place like that, and walk around the beautiful gardens and the blue pools and the slight warm breeze rustling the trees, and somewhere somebody is cooking something that smells really good and later on you'll be having that for dinner. Then, after the body massage, the foot rub and pedi, and after the tea and scones, you can walk down the path to the ocean where the cove is waiting for you. There you can sit under the shade of a big umbrella and watch the waves roll in from the crystal blue sea, and the distant white clouds are pretty against the blue of the sky and the seagulls cry softly as they fly out to sea. It's the most beautiful, peaceful place you have ever been, and there is no hurry, no speed, no rush, no obligations to do anything but to rest and to enjoy your surroundings. You aren't even going to have to tip the wait staff, because it's all included in your free trip to this luxury Spa.
I hope this helps!
