Well, I'm another 3 treatments into my course at the Spinal Relief Center. I have been doing my 30 minutes a day walking, and I've been riding my stationary bike on alternating days for about 15-20 minutes at a time. However, as I sit here and type this entry, my back is hurting. It's actually hurting mostly in my butt. I am, sitting down in this spanky cool chair that I work in which seems to be the most comfortable thing I can manage. It's got a mesh seat pan that gives really nicely when you sit down on it. But I know that if it doesn't get better pretty quickly today, I'm going to be forced to take a friggin' pain pill. I will hold off as long as possible though. I know that the only thing I have not been as diligent on as I might are the intrinsic muscle exercises. And even then, it's only that I haven't done the position that requires I be on my knees as much as I've done the seated ones. Oh well. I know that things take time, and Allison has told me when she's put me on the table, that this is the norm. It tends to go up and down in cycles. So I still have faith in the process. I'm not due for another treatment until next Tuesday, and I look forward to it. I thought I'd post a little update though - it's not all sweetness and light. And it's not a miracle cure. I'm just hoping that it will actually work when it's all said and done. One of the variables that was intraoduced in the past few days is that I went to Dr. Meadows' other office, which is a straight chiropractic practice, and they determined that my left leg was 7 mm shorter than the right. They provided me with a heel lift - so it may be that the heel lift being in there has been just enough to irritate the already very delicate back. We'll see.
