Winter/Early Spring
I’ll admit that I was feeling a bit discouraged for a while. It can overwhelming to spend about an hour a day to work on what is essentially a structural issue with your body (I have been doing good and keeping up with my exercises). You don’t see changes – I can speculate at how things are shifting, but I don’t ever have a very good view of my spine except if I’m looking at an x-ray. And I did get new x-rays done… I would post them, but they look almost exactly the same as the originals. No change is good, in that it means things aren’t getting worse, but it sure is hard trying not to get your hopes up, and then realizing you’ve gotten them up when you don’t get the results you’re hoping for.
But I’m remaining positive, and the lovely spring weather has been helping with that. Not to mention the fact that my adjustments are finally starting to stay in!
Dr. W is taking a new route with my adjustments – it boils down to adjusting down from the right, instead of up from the left (yeah, I’m not entirely sure of how that works either…). But whatever this new change is, it seems to be working. I had an adjustment stay in for several weeks! Then, I went in and the adjustment was confirmed to still be in place, we went through all of the other adjustments, and it was still in! (Usually, even if it is in at the beginning of the visit, after so much adjusting and jarring it’s out.)
So, I am able to wait a month until my next appointment! This is a huge relief on several levels – first, it means progress. Second, I will be gone for a month this summer, and would really hate for it to be a set back to my progress. But, if I’m already able to go a month at a time without an adjustment, hopefully being away for a month this summer will be no big deal whatsoever!
Anyways, I hope to post something more exciting soon. Until then, have a lovely spring!
