RUSH: Now, folks, I have to apologize for something here today. I normally wouldn\u2019t do this because everyone has bad days, but I\u2019m sitting here, I mentioned to you last Thursday or Friday, and I seldom mention these kind of things either but I have to because it\u2019s affecting me. I have this really excruciating pain because of a bulging disc, pinched nerve, whatever, in my cervical spine and it\u2019s driving me nuts. And as you know, I can take no pain medication. So it\u2019s literally driving me nuts. I\u2019m stuttering on some words today, or mispronouncing a couple. I\u2019m just distracted by it. I\u2019ve done part of the show standing up today because sitting makes it worse. It\u2019s just difficult to concentrate on this. <\/a>So I haven\u2019t sounded my broadcast excellence professional best. One of the things I\u2019m doing, you know, HoMedics is a sponsor and they\u2019ve got this great neck massager and no massage can fix this, the only thing that can fix this is surgery which I\u2019m not going to do because to reach the problem they have to go through the larynx and they said, ‘Well, there\u2019s only a 2% chance that anything would go wrong.\u2019 I can\u2019t take the 2% chance because the larynx, the voice box, is my career and business. <\/p>\n

This thing comes and goes. This is the worst it\u2019s been in five years and I\u2019ve done doctors and all that sort of stuff. It\u2019s just one of these things that has to work itself. But the HoMedics neck massager<\/a>, when I use that it is temporary relief at the time it\u2019s working, it\u2019s really been helpful. I want to thank those people too because they sent me one and I paid for it because I don\u2019t accept freebies. But I did want to apologize to you because I just sit here getting mad at myself for stuttering at all these words and it\u2019s just because I\u2019m a little bit distracted and cannot concentrate fully. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
