The A B C's of idiot - city
So, I moved a plant and had tremendous pain the other day, and I decided I would a) keep the appointment with my eye doctor (- I need new specs BTW and I picked out some, - blingy - with help - my pupils are still huge and I can barely read this...) then b) have a visit to my chiropractor.
After moving, stretching, pushing, pulling, cracking, twisting (you get the point) he determined that I sprained the joint between the 4th and 5th vertebrae. Great!
I do feel better knowing what I did. It validates the fact that I'm not insane, and it didn't feel muscular when I did it.
So now I have to: a) relax b) lie down c) not do anything outside a comfortable range of motion, (uh, it even hurts to lie down) and d) come back and see him Friday to see if it's better... I'm sure it will be... it was better this morning, before the stretching, cracking, twisting, etc.... but I know that is a necessary evil. I do enjoy the electronic muscle stimulation, but that's not going to help fix the joint, but strengthen the muscle around it... anyway...
Just in time for golf. Just in time for Spring yard work.
Thank God for a) my husband and b) good coverage!
