Back at it

I returned to the chiropractor today.  My adjustment of last week did begin feeling better and the pain in my left leg seems to have gone away.  As last week progressed however my lower back on the right side deteriorated rather quickly.  It could have been the 11 hours of dishes on Friday that finally killed it but I was in terrible shape.  I could not lay on my stomach as the pain was pretty severe.  Well, I tried to lay on my stomach a few times because the pain on my sides was pretty bad but I could not stick it out for more than a few minutes.  What the heck kind of a wuss am I?  Anyhow, I was back at it with the chiropractor and I presented more than what he was expecting today.  After some treatment and then an adjustment I let him know that the pain was still pretty strong, he watched me walk then had me lay down on the table again this time on my back.  He went to work on some muscle that was on the upper part of my right leg and it was deep.  He told me to breath, I breathed in and then could not breathe, that was a bit of pain.  It was even painful for the good doctor.  It took a bit of time and some icing but it has begun to feel a bit better.  It isn’t great but it is better than it was.  I am actually icing it right now so my back is cold and I have the swamp cooler running and blowing cold air on me.  I don’t think I will be falling asleep whilst writing this post.  It is a tad chilly.  Anyhow, I go back in tomorrow morning to see how things are.  Hopefully we are on the mend.  

Tomorrow Natty and Andy will return home.  I am excited to see them.  Their mom is staying for a few days and though I thought I would be moving in with the folks and letting her stay at the house she has opted to get a hotel room.  So I won’t be vacating my home for a few days.  That is nice.  Not that I have a problem with the folks, it is just nice not to have to back up clothes and my stuff for a few days away.  

Well, I am about frozen so I am going to call it a night.
