I bought a new pillow. This seems trivial, but I had my old one for as long as I can remember. I still have shirts from high school. They almost fit. I am a creature of habit, same breakfast every day, almost the same lunch. Same job, same wife… I am not great with change.

Last year I was experiencing some occasional numbness in my arms. While I doubted that I was having a heart attack, I was concerned. An MRI confirmed that there were some problems with the discs in my neck. A colleague recommended a particular pillow and said that it “would change my life.”

I always slept like a rock… still do. New pillow or not… I am not great with change.
