Hi Cheryl,
Well, the appt. went pretty well. He was very thorough and he did do xrays. I do have some mild scoliosis. (I thought I remembered the pediatrician saying something when I was a kid) Luckily my spine and neck are only slightly out of wack so he thinks I will only need maybe 4-5 treatments to get things back in line and then come on an as needed basis. There is a massage therapist (deep muscle) in the same building that I can see prior to an adjustment too. She won't be covered under my insurance though but I just may pay out of pocket for the 1/2 hour massage a few times. Since most of my problem is muscular he said it may help alot to see her first. But he felt that if we can get things back in line I won't have so much muscle pain in my neck. Wow! I am really hoping he is right. I am seeing him again on Thursday. Next week he is on vacation so I think what I will do is sto the flexeril after Thursday's appt. and see how I am feeling. It would be wonderful if this works for me and I really can only go on an as needed basis. Maybe like once a month or so. I did have an adjustment today and it didn't feel too bad. The strangest thing too is that afterwards when I was standing at the desk making the next appt. I felt my ear on that side opening up. (it was a good feeling) Guess I hadn't realized how closed up it was. I know that certain noises had been bothering me lately.
So, did you get Mike's splint today? If so, how did everything go? Guess I better read the other posts for today and see if you have one about it. I sure hope you got it and it fits well and Mike starts to have instant relief with it. How was his chiro and massage appts also?
Well, I will talk to you later, Take care, Michelle

Cheryl,
Sorry to hear that you didn't get Mike's splint today. I sure hope they do get it in tomorrow. Too much waiting for you right now. That is just crazy that the urologist hasn't called to set those tests up yet. I know you said he is the best though so I guess in the end that makes it worth the waiting. But poor Mike having to wait on all these things to help him. I bet when he is a vet he will never make his patients wait because he will remember all of this.
So far so good tonight. My back hurts a little bit but nothing major. He did adjust that too. My neck feels really good though. I forgot to tell you he gave me like 4 exercises to do (real easy things) also. Hopefully I will find time to do them maybe 3 times a day.
Well, I better get to bed. Early morning tomorrow again. I will talk to you tomorrow. Take care, Michelle
