happy Halloween from the Spinal Relief Center

Well, today was another spine treatment. My lower back hurt quite a bit while I was on the table today. I think Dr. Meadows said that he was going to increase the weight on the machine next week. And he also increased my fish oil intake to 3 tablespoons a day. But I have great hopes for the weekend and will write more about that on Monday. What I want to write about today is the amazing transformation that Renee, pictured in the previous post, has undergone. She has become a roo. See the picture for verification. ha ha! Yes...I walked into the spinal relief center this morning to find the crew all dressed up. I wish I was a better photographer, but I did the best I could. First is Renee the roo. Then we have Renee the Roo holding her little joey. Oh my God! She was sooooo cute in that costume.

Next we have Allison and Jeannie. They work with the patients more than Jessica and Renee do. they are the ones who actually put you in the belt, lay you on the table and get you all strapped in and stretching. They also come and get you afterward and put you in your ice chair, bring you water, and start your leg massage with the chair. But today, they were both kittens with their cool little headbands and jeans.

We asked Dr. Meadows what he was going to dress up as on Halloween, and he said, of course, that he was going to be a doctor. A likely story! I still didn't get a picture of him, but I will. This was a special occasion and I think it only fitting to only put up the pictures of those intrepid enough to don a costume. Tomorrow is Halloween - I've spent a great deal of time prepping for it this year, and it's almost here. And now for the last picture - but certainly not least - here's Jessica all decked out like a good little soldier girl.
