I know I like to joke about having a few screws loose

, but to ACTUALLY have this be the case is a different story altogether

A friend of mine had to have neck surgery redone for the same reason; the recovery was slow, but the surgery was a success, much to her and everyone else's relief.
Hope the injections help and that you can enjoy your vacation. I went to Florida in October (on a shoestring budget), and even though I was probably pushing myself too hard, I made sure I did a few things I enjoyed because I have no idea when I'll be able to travel again. Really helps the outlook when you can take even a small break from the ordinary.
Please let us know how it goes.
