Maybe you have West Nile Virus. Hmm, that’s actually not very funny. Sounds like it is indeed time for the doctor.

Well, it’s not west nile - apparently the pain is in the wrong place.

Dr. called it some fancy name that basically means muscle pull/strain and gave me some muscle relaxants which I’m going to try tonight. Apparently they make you loopy…😃
