OT: Back Problems Continue
I'm still stuck in this hotel 1,000 miles from home. The doctor referred me to a chiropractor who I saw for the first time this morning.
Things are going from bad to worse. It seems I didn't just pull some muscles but also damaged a disc.
The chiropractor tortured me a bit and said that he felt that he could fix the problem but that it's probably going to take about two weeks. Ack!
I've already been laid up with this since the 6th and at least 2 more weeks???
I'm starting to feel like I'm never going to get back to work (or home).

Thanks for the update.
I'm so sorry that you aren't, at least, home! What a difference if you could at least be where you are the most comfortable.
Will pray for you...

Uugh, no fun.
Just read on your blog about "Captain Kirk."
I once interviewed with a guy named "Klingborg." So I totally feel your pain.

at least the doctor you went to was open enough to send you to a chiropractor. I didn't think they usually did that.
I've been going to the cult... er... chiropractor for a while now and it really does help.
too bad you're stuck so far from home...
I hope you'll be feeling better soon!

Oh, Mason, I'm so sorry!! I hope that, at the very least, he is right about being able to fix it in two weeks, and that it doesn't drag on any longer for you. Take care!

HIGHLY recommend the chiro! Couldn't function without mine! (Had botched back surgery 30 years ago, and would'a been a cripple by now if not for the chiro!)
By the way, did I mention that I dislocated my hip, pulling tendons and groin muscles, about the same time as you messed up your back? Been seeing my chiro for it, and he has kept me able to work and walk.
I think this is the right route. Go for it!

Ouch! Back problems do seem to take a long time to heal, too.  I don't remember..did you hurt it lifting something? |

 I feel your pain. I hurt my back 3 years ago, and have been disabled ever since. Chiropractic works very well for certain issues, but it did nothing for me. My problems ended up being quite a bit bigger.
I hope you get home soon. |
