My achin back is still achin, just not near as much as it was. Monday morning's fix at the chiropractor held till around 4-5 that afternoon. The only way I could be comfortable was to be layin down. Couldn't stand to be on my feet for more than 4 seconds!! I decided this had to be the big one . . . a dreaded kidney stone . . . but they pains weren't where I remembered them, but how good is anyone's memory in those kind of circumstances. Had all the symptoms that go with such situations . . . I'll let you wonder what they are. . . Decided to wait it out a while. My history is passing them in a few hours. I figgered going to the emergency room that time of evening was only goin to get me some x-rays and some pain killer shots. In the past the shots never really dulled the pain, just made me feel like I was floating a couple feet above the bed . . . don't really care much for heights anyway. It got to the point that I was about to call the emt's to come haul me away when I apparently dozed off. How when can doze off feelin like that, I don't know either. Maybe I just plain passed out . . . Anyway, when I woke up, I felt much better and different, not good, just better and different. Spent the rest of the night dozing off for a while and waking up for awhile. By daylight, I was feelin the same. Spent the day on my back, just doin just absolutely what had to be done, which was mainly feedin the cat. She probably doesn't realize what it took for me to pick up her dish and put it back on the floor.
Spent the rest of they day ponderin what my next move should be. Not gonna get a Dr. appointment till next day, not really bad enough to go to the emergency room, don't feel good enough to drive to the chiropractor. Decided to wait till Wed AM to see how I'm feelin. Did set in a chair a couple hrs starin at the tv before spending another night of dozin off and wakin up all night. Realized I hadn't eaten since Monday PM. When I don't eat, I'm definitely sick.
Wed AM I started thinkin maybe I'm goin to survive this seige. Felt decent. Went to the chiropractor. He said I definitely needed another adjustment. It was in a different area than Monday's adjustment. Both adjustments were different than I've ever had. Told him I was comin to him first then the medical dr. if the fix didn't hold. Talked about kidney stones. We both agreed that the sharpest pain wasn't in the kidney stone area. I think it is a badly strained muscle. Yesterday's fix has held!! Kinda like the problem BP is havin . . . Fixes not holdin and then holdin.
I'm much better today! Not 100%, but I wasn't 100% when all this started last Saturday. Still have no idea what I did to trigger this. Honestly doubt my VERY, GOOD friend, Karen, had anything to do with it. I can't imagine how good ole, meek, mild, ramblin Mike, who is a near perfect gentleman at all times could make anyone that angry . . . .
