Thankful Thursday WLS Express!!!

Went and saw Dana last night and she looked great!!!  She was having alittle discomfort but pain was manageble and she will be released sometime today.

 Hey there all.

I've been cruising pretty actively on the RNY board but I haven't been back here in WAY too long.  I have to get back here and start being active again.  I miss my TX people.

Today I am thankful for Chiropractors...specifically Dr. James in Keller, TX.  2 weeks ago I did something still unknown that aggrivated the pinched nerve in my lower back and it had me almost immobile again.  I'm in the second week of a 6 week course of adjustments to get me fixed.  I'm still dealing with a lot of discomfort but at least I don't hurt all the time.

Tonight I may see if Clint wants to head to a movie.

I need to go mix up my shakes for the day (dry mixing) and get the morning ambrosia on.  I hope you all have a super day.

JENN-Would love to hear more about your chiro-am seriously considering foing to one. I told my doc I would try PT first, but it looks like it's going to be slow and VERY expensive (pretty syre it's sciatic nerve related)

 Gina,

This doctor has made me a believe in Chiropractic medicine.  I grew up kinda thinking Chiropractors were a step above witch doctors.  Now there are lots of 'quacks' out there but dang I found a good one.

The first time I went to Dr. James, 2 years ago, I could not walk more than 2 steps without literally collapsing in pain because of spasms.  He took x-rays but did not do any adjustments on me until he had a day to look at what was going on in the pictures.  BIG A+ on that one.  He did the same thing when I went back last week.  I hadn't been in over a year (part of the problem...I should really be having a once a month/every 6 week adjustment to keep the nerve from re aggrivating) so he took all new pictures to see where I was at.

If you want, I can ask for a referral in your area.  I live in South Arlington and north Keller is a hell of a jaunt for me to make...that's waaaaay far for you.

I'm a HUGE believer in Chiroprators. I, too, was raised that they were all quacks, which could easily be said for medical Dr.s from my experience! I was in my early 20's when I had a serious car wreck that cause several herniated discs. The medical Drs. first plan was to operate but I knew too many people who had had back surgeries only to get worse. PT never helped, in fact lots of times it made it worse. So I decided to at least try a chiropractor so I could say I had tried everything before letting them cut on me. I am SO glad I did! My Dr. James has kept me moble, functional and out of pain for over 30 years. The treatments help not just the back pain but things like digestions, organ function and when I was still having them, it helped regulate my monthlies.  I'm also bad about not going regularly for maintenance adjustments but it's hard to go when nothing hurts.

So Liz...don't put it off. Get yourself to a Chiro and at least check it out.

Good Morning One and all!!

Morning everyone.  I promise I am here just kinda lurking a bit :).  I think SB might be my drink of choice today as tired as I am.   I am hoping in the next week or so, my energy will pick back up.  Tonight is one of those I really need to work in the yard nights, but if it is as hot as they say, I will stay indoors, at least the hunny mowed the front and side yards yesterday. 

I hope everyone has a great and safe Thursday.  One more day after today.
