FRIDAY Rocks!!!!

I know you all agree! I live for my Fridays. :)

So, now I have to tell you how much of an amazing woman I am (No laughing out loud!). I've been having terrible headaches that keep me in my bed for far longer than a normal person would ever desire. Damp wash cloth covering my eyes, laying flat on my back, curtains and blinds closed completely, hydrocodon for the pain - and still NOTHING. After about 10 - 15 hours of sleep I'm generally able to function as a semi-normal person, but I still fear the next onset of pain and bed prison.

On Monday after waking up at 4 am with pain and staying in bed for a better part of the day with above mentioned wash cloth, I decided I was not going to be able to wait for the neurologist on April 29th. I needed relief NOW! I called the local chiropractor, I am now convinced that this man is amazing!

On Wednesday I went in and he asked me about my symptoms and took some X-Rays, I went back yesterday, he showed me the X-Rays where you can see that my spinal cord it out of alignment and where two vertebrates in my neck are touching, thus pinching a nerve. He went over a plan with me that he believes will work, and he started on it right away. He jerked my head, popped my back and hips, and it was amazing. I immediately felt the tension in my neck wash away. Then I got to lay on a table that ran an automatic message up and down my back for 10 minutes, and I had some kind of shock therapy that used electricity. It was all just amazing. Of course, the fun doesn't last for long, I'll have to be adjusted pretty often for several weeks, and soon it will only be once a month.

I'm excited that after 2 years, someone finally thinks they can help me. He is the first person to even want to take X-Rays. I could kick myself now for not going to him sooner!

On another note, the parents are going out of town for 5 days starting tomorrow, given that good old Ame*rican Airli*nes doesn't cancel anymore flights. They're headed to the sunny, warm west coast for a conference for Mom's job, and a little bit of relaxation. It's definitely going to be nice having the whole house to myself for a week, but it will be weird that it's so quiet.

Happy Friday everyone! Enjoy your weekend.
