Have I mentioned that I have lordosis? I don't think I have. It's no big deal. It just means that I have a pronounced curve in my spine. I also have trouble with my sciatic nerve. Sometimes it causes this burning or stabbing feeling in my right leg. But not all the time. I have found relief with stretching and yoga and, most recently, with Thai yoga massage therapy.
But then I went to a chiropractor and things got worse. I don't know what I was expecting, but not this. I went once and I was fine. After the second visit though, it was all bad news - woke up the next day with a "lateral shift" which apparently only occurs in 3% of the population. Then again, I'm not your average girl. The absurd happens to me.
I can't really get into it as I am holding my laptop above me as I tap at letters on the keyboard, let's just say, writing has been a challenge. I did manage to text myself the first 1,000 words of my final project.
In the past few days I have seen some improvement. I took Charlie and Rudy to the bike path and I managed to corkscrew my way down to Trunk River where the boy skipped rocks. Yesterday I made it down to the beach at the end of the road. But what a thing! As if migraines weren't enough.
Too bad for me that I haven't been able to make it to yoga, or to volunteer at Charlie's school, or the many number of things I usually try to do when I don't have a headache.
My arms are getting tired so I will just post this bitch fest. But I just wanted you to know why I have been a lame poster. It's difficult - but I'll manage. Somehow.
At least I am through with the steroids.
