Hey, did we know this?

I have had one good PT in quite a few visits. He turned out to be so much of a douchenozzle that I couldn't trust my health to him, but he did some weird shit. I'm not sure which shit got me off lifetime neurontin, but there was cupping in there as well as intense, painful, horribly bruising myofascial release.

This guy in a meeting today drew' the best rectangle on the whiteboard I have ever seen. And what cracks me up is the guy sitting next to me who turned around to say "that's the best rectangle!" It really was worthy of exclamation, and when he erased it, both of us were "can he do that again???"

Yeah, that's my big takeaway from a meeting that ran twice over.

Vent all you need to, msbelle.

I just learned that someone I used to work with (in MO)is now a Tex-Mex food truck owner-operator in New Zealand. What?!

Oh, msbelle, vent away. Sometimes I just don't want to be needed in that need need need way.

My only packing superpower is that things I pack arrive in good condition.

The NIH did an extensive peer-reviewed study that showed that chiropractic was more effective for low back pain than traditional medicine. I have been spoiled by my chiropractor, who is a professor at Life College and does some pretty rigorous research. When I started being in pain in the fall a year ago, she was the first to suggest I see my oncologist. I have seen many chiropractors who make all kinds of claims and require numerous visits.

Seriously, msbelle, let it all out.

My sister just showed me pics of our closest family friends growing up. Everyone was waiting for R to come out of the closet, but in the meanwhile, his sister G, who was very Proper about things had cut off her long hair and is now butcher than me and gay and her husband was taking pictures of her and her girlfriend.

hang in there, msbelle!

According to this page, what they've found is that spinal manipulation (which included chiropractic and other approaches) is as effective as traditional medicine; though none of them are very effective. [link]

My BiL was looking into training to become a chiropractor for a while, but when he was told that part of it was letting other prospective chiropractors practice on him he bailed on that idea.

I'm sorry, msbelle. I wish you could have come out with me this evening. I've been so NORMAL. I worked 40 hours this week and then went to happy hour. Ordinary = freakin' awesome. And listened to music that made me want to cry for reasons that would take longer to explain than the songs last, but that's just me. And, hey, did not actually cry, so. A good night.

I am intrigued by and curious about the amazing rectangle.

Ugh msbelle, please vent away! The overwhelming neediness is so hard, especially when your own needs aren't being met. I wish you lived closer, I would happily hang with you.
