Well I’m going to the Chiropractor and might I just say I’m scared to death. Why am I going? I’m in serious pain and the right side of my body is just messed up. It has been for some time now and I just keep putting this off.
I just get freaked out by this entire process, but I know they can help me. I think it’s a combination of the noise and the feeling you get when they are cracking your spine. It just doesn’t seem natural. It’s definitely a control thing and I feel so vulnerable through the entire process. I guess I will just suck it up and cry on the drive there! Yep; total baby and it will more than likely happen.
I also suffer from migraines and this is supposed to help so who knows, maybe I’ll be cured with this soon! I’m willing to give it a try and hopefully I can keep making the appointments and not freak out too much.
A lot of people I know go to the Chiropractor and they just leave there feeling wonderful and relaxed and I know I can do this. Wish me luck! I’ll be the one crying on the way in (and maybe on the way out!).

Good luck at the chiropractor. They say all the fun medical stuff starts up in your 40’s. As for me, I’m going in for a sleep study tomorrow. They’re going to put a bunch of electodes on me and watch me sleep. Then for good measure maybe next I schedule a colonoscopy. Oh well, better to take care of what ails you than to ignore it.

I had to reschedule until tomorrow (Thursday) but it’s Dr. Kane in NA, he’s on Grant Line Road, in that Medical Bldg. by the Licence Branch. I’m still freaking out, but a little calmer. I have known for what, 10 years that I need to go back (yes, I’m horrid) but I’m going so first steps right! I knew I had to go because I can’t even walk on my treadmill at this point. I’m over the pain. 40’s haven’t been bad actually (except the vision issues) but other than that I have LOVED my 40’s. I just want to get this fixed so I can get back to being a kid again with Noah. In order to keep up with him I have to stay in shape. He is the medicine to keeping me young these days! Thanks for the encouragement guys! Good luck on the sleep study Jon. What’s the deal? Stress, or what?

It’s embarassing, but I am a super load snorer, which can be a symptom of a serious sleep disorder. My dad was the same way. So I’m getting checked. It’s more of a preventative thing, and if I can get the snoring knocked down a few decibles that would be nice….

Well good luck and I hope it works out for you. I hope they find out the issues.
