Treatment No. 5

Okay... so something is happening at these spine treatments. Or with the program as a whole. I feel pretty good today, and I've got to say that my need for the pain pills is decreasing. Dr. Jeremy Meadows and his staff have been consistently nice and helpful. I believe that this may just turn out to be the best money I ever spent. Don't get me wrong - it is a LOT of money - but in truth, what price can you put on your health? None really. What was nearly excruciating pain when I walked or stood up from my chair or from my sofa, is now discomfort. Yes....discomfort. I do see hope. I do see a light at the end of the tunnel. Of course, I remain cautiously optimistic despite the results I've seen so far. I am still wearing a spinal distraction belt with a friggin' ice pack in the back of it, and I am taking a butt-load of supplements every day and I'm NOT walking on my treadmill (which is reeking havoc on my mood, I must say, but no doubt allowing the inflammation in my back to settle down as well) but, despite all that . . . I am hopeful that this treatment is going to give me back a good deal of my life. And with that hope comes a rush of anticipated freedom that I haven't felt for a long while. It's hell crawling through life injured and wondering how you're going to deal with life in general. All will be well, however. I'll try to get some decent pictures of the staff and Dr. Meadows to put up here soon. I think that now I'm not being such a horse's ass when I show up there, they may be more amenable to my taking a few pics.
