Be Brave

Seeing this picture was just what I needed. Yesterday I got the results from my MRI. It looks like the numbness and tingling in my left hand and arm from the car accident has been caused by a disc protrusion at my C5-C6 that's compressing the exiting left C6 nerve root.

It's good to know the reason for my symptoms, but it also means I have to see a neurosurgeon. I really don't want to have neck surgery, but I don't want to go on the way I have been, either. Needless to say, last night was a total pity party. I have no idea what the doctor will suggest as treatments options so I shouldn't borrow worry. I'll just have to let the above LOLcat be my poster child!
