I Finally Did It!!!

Well everyone, I finally did it! I went to the chiropractor today. I don't feel any different as of yet, but hopefully with a few treatments I will notice a difference.

Here's the scoop...... It's my hips that are my problem!! I have something called hip displasia which means that my hip joints aren't deep enough for the ball of the hip to sit in properly. Apparently I was born this way and over my lifetime I have worn away the socket and the fall I took last year caused me to deteriorate a bit faster.

Anyway, the outlook is that the chiropractor thinks that with a few treatments that I will start walking better and I will be more aligned. I am going again on Monday. Hopefully I will begin to feel better in the next week or two. Today he took X-rays, did a consultation with me and did some deep tissue massage with an electric gizmo and then tried to do some manual stretching of my legs. He said that he would take it slow as he didn't want to cause too much pain. The massage felt really good although there were a few tender spots on my right hip.

Not too much else is new around here. The pussy cats are doing good, spoiled rotten though. Bruce's back is still bothering him. He didn't bowl this week. I'm thinking that maybe he should try the chiropractor too! I'm hoping that in 2 or 3 weeks I'll be able to try bowling.
