today has been interesting so far. I found a new chiropractor, and I had my first appointment. I was excited, thinking "my ribs will be in place for the first time since January!"
so I drove downtown and filled out papers for a half an hour. then was examined by the medical assistant and poked and prodded for another half an hour. then the chiropractor examined me.. I think he seems like a pretty capable guy. he does the holistic techniques that my chiropractor up north did, and he noticed that my left side has been compensating so long that it's made my spine curve.. but he's the first to have ever officially told me that it's given me scoliosis. great fun. and that I have TMJ because my allignment is off. it might seem completely ridiculous that your back could give you jaw problems, but I do have jaw pain, and it's always in conjunction with the upper back pain.
uh, so poked and prodded, scoliosis.. where was I? oh yeah. they couldn't adjust me because they have to wait for the auth from my workers' comp, so.. my ribs are still poking all out of place and I still can't really use my left arm!! I'll be adjusted next Wednesday, so I only have a week left of sleepless nights and crappy days. sweet.
I'm going to yoga, that oughta stretch me out and fix me up a little. I wish I could read my book (Eartha Kitt's autobiography) and sleep, but no dice, I have three papers and a speech due next week! boo. actually, the speech is tomorrow. I've done the research, I just gotta put it together.
