Long Lost Update
Well... here I am posting in the ol' livejournal.
I've been out of work for almost a month. Yes that is correct. True story: I was headbutted by a retarded guy with a mullet.
Resulting in concussion a la Post Concussive Syndrome.
The upside to all this is.... Because I'm not working and work is not sucking the life out of me ... I'm finally getting the mental energy I need back. I'm enjoying life again. I'm doing things like - reading, cleaning the house, lj-ing etc. - things I cannot seem to get done when i function as a normal working adult.
In other news... I've fallen in love with my chiropractor. I had never seen a chiropractor before... and I have no idea why. Prior to my injury I had some lower back pain. If I rode anywhere or sat on the couch too long, even getting up in the morning I was in pain, and would walk as if I were cripple. I felt cripple. I just accepted the pain, figured it was just something I had to deal with. I was convinced I just had early onset of arthritis. I was fat. I started taking MSM. Ha - I'm 26 & resigned to the fact I just had to live in pain.... Thats outrageous, I'm sorry.
My first visit to the chiropractor, he popped my saccrum back into place and no pain... well minimal pain... I'm no longer hunched over and cripple upon standing. My main gripe is... why don't doctors, as in family physicians, suggest chiropractic work? It's been my only relief after this injury. If I hadn't sought out the treatment on my own (or upon recommendation of a friend) I would still be suffering a whole heck of a lot more. Me = Totally fed up with standard Western Medicine. I could rant for hours.
In other news. I bought a blender. I'm a smoothie queen. My favorite concoction of late:
Juice of 2 oranges
Juice of 1 pear
Blended with - 1 banana, 3 or 4 strawberries, handful of raspberries
1 tbsp Raw coconut butter
1 tbsp chia seeds
drizzle of Raw honey
Hello goodness... I've been having these for lunch.
More "other news"... am back to school. Go me!
