update

Yesterday was an absolutely horrible day for me. Sunday morning I was having dreams about my neck hurting VERY badly & having to go to the hospital. I woke up around 7am to the worst pain that I have ever had in my head. (Possibly worst ever.. even with my femur being broken). My head felt like it literally was going to explode and I was so sick. When I tried to get up, my head felt like it was 75 lbs and that my neck couldn't hold it up, so I fell back into bed. My dad got me an ice pack to lay on and then told me to go back to bed. During the course of the day I took some Aleve and got a prescription for Celebrex (inflammation) and although it helped a bit, I was still in excruciating pain all day. Today it is a bit better, but it still scares me that it could hurt that much and no one be able to figure out what is causing it.

My dad emailed my hip surgeon in Boston. He emailed us back & is working very hard to get a hold of my neck surgeon, neurologist, and some other neuro guy who is the tops at Harvard (We've gotten a few emails from them since). They're working hard to coordinate a schedule to get me to come very soon... because they're nervous about what's going on with me. It's potentially very serious. They're going against hospital policy by letting me in, but Dr. Millis said that he's "committed to helping me solve this". It's great to know that a person of such ranks as he would go out of his way to help me with an issue with my neck, when he deals with mainly hips.
