Just Take Me Out Back and Shoot Me =..=

msmoonI keep thinking, 'have I ever experienced this much pain?' and of course the answer is yes, but it's hard to remember it right now. It happened Tuesday, after raking leaves with Mom. I went to make my bed, lifted up on the mattress, and BAM! My right hip screamed at me to stop whatever I was doing, because it wasn't going to help continue my productive existence. That day, we had a free visit at the chiropractors.... so, it was kind of perfect. She scared me a bit because she asked specifically what was wrong while I was laying on the table, and I told her my right hip was hurting and it was making everything else hurt, and she said, "Yeah, it's completely out." And that made me think, "...could I have pulled it out of socket? O..O" But today she said I didn't....but the way she explained it made it....very confusing.
Uh, anyway. Wednesday wasn't much better... in fact, I ended up suffering a lot... I still went to see about some jobs here and there, but the longer I went, the worse I felt. Mom convinced me to let her help me clean up the church after service that night... and I was forever grateful for her help. I still cleaned all the bathrooms, took out all the garbages, vacuumed half the sanctuary and swept under the pews (hard work in itself really), and I offered her half my paycheck...but she sort of scoffed at me. I think it would insult her -..-
We called the chiropractor early today and I got an appointment at 3:30....I suffered until then. She gave me something called Biofreeze...which is something you spray or roll on your skin and it soaks in and freezes the muscle...helps to reduce inflammation, don't ya know. Doesn't help that much with the pain though =..=
Oh! Funny story from that. So, I'm laying on that table and she's running through the whole adjustment. It took her about an hour, no joke. Well, while she was using that vibrating message over my lower back and around the area that was hurting so badly, it felt like my body was attached to one of those spinning wheels. You know, like at the circus where they put you on those spinning wheels and someone throws knives at you? Yeah, it felt like that. Then I tell her about it and about how I have equilibrium problems, and she says "I'll have to adjust your ears." O..O I had no idea you could do that. It's usually used when people have serious sinus congestion, but she essentially pulls on your earlobe, cocks your head to the side and then gives a quick tug and your ear pops....
uh....yeah... But anyway. So, Mom asks me if I feel up to going to Branson when we get out, because she got a call from two of our oldest friends from LA, and they bought not only themselves, but also us, tickets to see the Dixie Stampede. It was really awesome, because we've seen the show before, but never really the Christmas show. It was very cheese and kiddy, but if you just let yourself go and enjoy it, you really have a great time. Not to mention the food rocks.
Still, just like with the past two days, my good health only lasted so long. I ended up hurting so bad. I thought I would die just trying to get out of the car on the way home. It's like... I can lay down, I can sit down, I can even walk. But if I'm sitting or laying down for a long time, only then when I'm trying to move does it hurt something awful. It's like having concentrated syatica right in my right hip shooting down the top of my thigh and into my knee along with having lower/mid bag pain, and syatica racing down the back of my leg and curling around my knee >..< I suppose the lesson is to get myself into a position and then bloody well stay there.
I'm having a movie knight Saturday... the boys are going to come over and have pizza and watch Cloverfield.... I really need to clean house. Not like, power scrub or anything, but the dishes need to come out of the dishwasher and the dirties need to go in, plus I need to do laundry. These two task I've been putting off in hopes that I feel better. I really am not sure what I'll do...but it has to get done.
I have another appointment with the doctor tomorrow at 12:30 =..= maybe if I wake up early and get all my work done, I can go in for an adjustment and relax the rest of the day.... yeah right.
Well, the pills are kicking in and I really need sleep. I'll write later, Sunshines.
You Are Pumpkin |
 You are the classic fall favorite, but there's nothing ordinary about you. You are very culinarily adventurous. To cook with pumpkin requires being something of a mad scientist, at least if you're not going the whole canned route. You love a challenge in the kitchen, and you're always trying out a new flavor combination that may or may not work. While it's true that some of your best recipe ideas end up in the trash, just as many belong in a five star restaurant. |
