Brief relief

Was still pretty achy and in pain when I woke up today, but slightly better (thankfully) than yesterday. I made it in and though it's freezing out there, at least the sky is clear and no moisture or low pressure around.

It's also my chiropractor day and thank G-d for that. The masseuse I had today is one of, if not, my favourite. He just touches my back and can tell what is going on. He asked if I've been stressed lately. HA HA! That was funny. I said, well, you could call it that. Between the pain in the body, hips, and my mouth I'm about to jump off a high floor. I guess that's stressful, no? Well, he sure worked his magic. I felt better from then (about 1pm) till now, so almost 5 hours with less pain. Heck, I'll take what I can get!

And since I've been bad and didn't go to PT yesterday, I am making myself go to the pool. Today I will try the one in midtown though as it's heated and meant for gimp's to exercise in. :-)

Seeing Dr. Kelly in 2 weeks and I'm not sure he'll be happy with my lack of progress. Then again, perhaps he'll think for me I am progressing. I just don't feel it that much. We shall see what he decides. I know my PT said that insurance is starting to clamp down on my visits, must sort that out as well. My major frustration with insurance is they expect EVERYONE to react the same, even though EVERYONE has a different body. The people that need to make these decisions are not the ones that do, that's for sure.
