Wearing a halo neck brace brings with it new pains every day.
The pains I had last week, and the week before, and the time in the hospital, and even last Wednesday are different than they are now. IF the pain was the same then I could cope - it would be easier to deal wtih everyday. But these new pains bring new tears.
The pain today is a soar scalp near the back left pin. I don't know why. I hope its not infected! My husband, W, applies betadine to the pins everyday and when he can't I have been able to contort my body to do it. But still, each pin site has given me trouble at one time in the last 7 weeks. Last week it was the back right one - it was itching and burning around it. I applied some betadine and it was able to soothe it, but this new pain is more like a pulled skin ache. Similar to if you had a pony tail in too long and too tight and then your scalp hurts. Same kind of thing except no ponytail.
For all I know I slept weird and pulled my scalp tighter... but whatever it is it's a new sensation on my head that hurts and pain medications aren't doing a damn thing.
