i'm sure dr. david would tell me to buy some minimilast architectural furniture and then give me one of those adjustments that i hate.
there are two kinds of chrirpractors. those who slam you against the table and make you scream (that's the good kind)
and those who move everything slowly and carefully and re align it all gently and in the end, nothing feels better and you've spent way too much time with his creepy hands on you.
any guy who spends 27 mintues on michaels nipples is the second kind...i'm telling you that right now.
my chiropractor is practically a leather daddy...i swear he is and i love him for it and always feel a little dirty paying him 37.00 after he wraps a towel around his hand, has me cross my arms against my chest, holds me against him and then....
BAM!
crashes me back onto the table cracking my back agaisnt his towel ensconced fist.
mmmmmmm...if he didn't look so fucking much like my dad i'd have a crush on him...instead i just want him to kiss my forehead and tell me he thinks it's fine that i'm a night person but hey...we all have our kinks.
No way. There is no such thing as TMI between people who love QAF.
I get the chiropractor crush, I really do. I have a daddy crush on the guy who gives me my B12 shot. He's about my dad's age and has this deep, soothing voice. Sometimes I'm tempted to ask him if I can go curl up in his office and take a nap while he reads to me. I'm sure that would go over quite well.
Will the Vicodin help some? I hope it does. What you described sounds terrible. Will nursing shoes (or whatever) help when you can afford them?
the vicodin has helped some in the "they still hurt a little but i care signifigantly less" way.
the problem is that i got that "dress professionally" talk from my boss so i can't wear "nursing shoes" cause i'm the director of social services...not a nurse...so i'm gonna have to find some expensive orthopedic shoes that don't look orthopedic.
Oh hell. Do they make nice nursing shoes? Or orthopedic shoes or whatever? There's a place right down from where I work that does some kind of foot therapy or something and they have special shoes, but they cost several arms and legs. Is that what you have to get?
Oh, if you buy them, they'll be deductible, remember that. ;)
Also, your boss can't tell you not to wear nursing shoes since they would benefit a pre-existing condition. That violates ADA. I realize you probably don't want to go around threatening your boss with ADA complaints, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. We had a similar issue in the school system last year and the school got fined a lot... a LOT.... of money for telling a teacher with chronic back pain she needed to wear shoes "with a little heel" to look "nice". They were attempting to pick on her because she wasn't a "townie". I digress.
When David is past the point of no return w/ the pain, he sees his acupuncturist, Annie. He swears by her. And pot. But mostly Annie.
i'm sorry about david ever haveing to be past the point of no return pain wise...kind of makes me feel like a baby complaining about my feet...but they really fucking hurt sometimes.
pot is out of the question.
my company does not currently do random drug testing, but i've also only worked there for a few weeks, (i could lose this job as quickly as i got it) so i need to stay clean in case A) they decide to do drug testing as many health/mental health care companies do, or b) i get a job somwehwere else that requires such testing.
the showes will be deductible and actually i'm not supposed to wear a heel, or at least a high heel because basically i'm working mostly on the floor of the nursing home, so no open heels, no open toes, low heels if any, and i choose none, because heels just exacerbate the problem by bringing back the oh so fun leg cramps that paralyze me.
so i'm going to spend some money on shoes. i'm going to get fitted for them, and have them done right and get a pair in black and a pair in brown and be done with it.
today i honestly debated keeping this job i hurt so badly, but i was wearing new shoes that are going back to the store, they will not do. and i will have to figure something out.
mostly i just sit as much as possible and take aspirin or advil, or naproxin or whatever for the pain when it gets too bad and i'm at work.
vicodin at work would be bad, i'd fall asleep in an empty bed...i'm thinking that would be considered unprofessional.
Sleeping on the job is unprofessional? Damn, someone should have told my 7th grade football coach history teacher.
Oh, yeah, heels + falling old people= old people full of holes. Plus, I recall you mentioning panty hose. Heels AND panty hose is just torture.
I totally understand not going the marijuana route as I don't partake myself. A lot of guys here do use it though, to get appetite up and to just chill out and quit thinking so much.
D's not at all a pity person. He's very philosophical about pain and he says to tell you that all pain is possibly the worst pain you can ever have because you're having it and it's relative to your experience. This is either very obvious or very deep and my head hurts so I'm not going to think too hard about it.
