Ummmm... 3 months later and a worse back later...

So yeah, after the not-so-good news... I started treatment for my back. Let me tell you, the treatment hurt, but not as much as losing my job, and thus, my health insurance. So I had to say goodbye to the therapy and welcome back pain.

It's been 2 months since then, I am in pain but soon will start a new job and soon after that, a new insurance carrier, Yay!!!

I have so many things to write but I am just not feeling it right now... I am going through a lot of changes and just cannot articulate it all in just one sitting. I will though. I will use this blog as therapy.

Tomorrow is the day...

So anyways... if you find my Facebook page (and if you are my friend there), you will see a picture of me in a very weird contraption.
Yes, people, I have a very bad back and I have decided to do something about it once and for all. So a couple days back I went to this Health Fair at my kid's school. IT happens that there was a Chiropractor in a booth so I decided... might as well.

I have been suffering of chronic back pain for a long time and I think (so I thought) the reason of it. I know I had a bad curvature of the neck and a pseudo-lubxation of one of my vertebrae in my lower back, so I try to be cute and I tell the nice lady that I am pretty bad off and she would get scared with the amount of pain I am in. She laughs it off and says

"it's ok Honey, we all have back pain"

and proceeds to put this machine that measures pain on my back... Good is GREEN, YELLOW is some back pain and RED is PAIN PAIN PAIN... I am lighting up like a Christmas Tree. Everything is either RED PURPLE or MAGENTA!!!! She gives me this look as if she just saw an Unicorn...

All of a sudden she wants the Doctor to see me and he's also taken aback. I only smile and I give him the list of accidents and Injuries I had over my short (ahem!) 21 years (**cough!, cough!**) He acts like he's seen it all and then I make an appointment with a colleague bc the only day I have available he has off (figures!)

The day comes and I go there all eager to be "rid of pain" and I succumb to a series of exams and the dreaded X-rays. As always I give the disclaimer, " I have a horrible back, please don't be scared". All serious he says:

"People thing their problems is the worst, but most of the time is just a simple fix. Your doctor will go over the X-rays with you next time you are here, nothing bad just that he's your doctor".

I gave him the "smirk".

So while I am getting ready he takes a pic at my X-rays... he's acts all of a sudden as a teenager over a centerfold. "OMG, your neck is B.A.D., let's not even go over your lower back but your neck... WOW!. Dr. Jordan will go over them with you but...WOW"

So next appt. I see Dr. Jordan. He's nice and acts normal, until it's time to go over my X-rays. He looks at them and his face changes and he goes:

"I remember these X-Rays, OMG, I have to reschedule you because this is going to take long... Just to give you a sneak Peek... In all my years of practice, I have NEVER EVER seen a neck like yours... that is without counting the deformity on your lower back which we cannot do anything about..."

Thanks a lot Doc!!
Good thing you are not my psychologist...

So tomorrow is the day... 12.30, Stay tuned, I am taking pictures!!!

The beginning of an era...

So... ok. First of all....

Welcome!!!!

I created this blog about 3 years ago and never used it. I am very technology oriented but at the same time I think that my thoughts are for myself. Call me thoughtfully selfish... but I just don't think people need to know my thoughts.

But now I think that I NEED to vent. Heck! Blogger is cheaper than Therapy!!!

So what you can expect of this blog is maybe to read a little bit about what I go through in everyday basis, or extraordinary events... pretty much what "Happens" to me.

Also, what I am going to try to do in this blog is just maybe update you with stuff I hear and I see that I think changed the way I think or feel about something... hence "Tribulations".

Let's see how this blogs turns out!
Chau!!!!!
