Chiropractors are good for you! (helmets....part two hehe)
YAY UPDATES
So I had been taking Percocets once every three hours as needed for the pain, because two during the day would just knock me out. But last night I took two so I could sleep? Well, that wasn't smart. I woke up at 3 am in absolute agony. Learned that lesson.
Went to the doc's today, she said, basically because I fell and hit my head, I have a concussion, even if I didn't lose conciousness. Grr, it means no riding, no contact sports for two weeks. But at least it wasn't any worse. Then she recommended a chiropractor that was right down the road from her office for me to go see. She said she goes to them, and thinks they are amazing.
So Pops and I headed over to the Chiropractor's office, and I got an initial...well, basically a massage, by Erik (the sort of cute but clearly out of my league because he's older) Chiropractor. Erik stretched out my back muscles, kneaded them, and cracked my back, and put this stuff thats sort of like Tiger balm (you know, the cooling/heating sensation stuff?) on my back. ONly, this stuff smells like oranges, and is a cream. So overall, it felt REALLY good.
Of course, then I came home and mom made me sit on pavement and what's left of the diving board. ouch. oh well, i guess. I'm going back to see Erik tomorrow, and then twice more next week, and by then I should hopefully be fully healed.
What else is new? My cousin/very close family friend Kelly is getting married this weekend! Her husband to be, Aaron, is such a sweetheart. They have a house down south, very close to a lake (waterskiing and wakeboarding run in the family lol), but they are getting married up here. I'm so excited for them, and I can't wait. I just know the wedding will be beautiful. I will try to post pictures, if I can find dad's camera charger first hehe :)
and other than that, things are semi quiet. We're having a New England style Clam bake as part of their wedding party weekend, so the house is a little hectic, but it will be fun. Next week Pop and I are doing college travelling :P
Okay, that's all for now. Head is starting to hurt a bit, so I'm going to take off. Love you guys! <3
