wish Mike were here!

[Guest guest]

I'm breaking down today and taking to the chiropractor.

I can see one of her vertebrae WAY out of line with the others. She's in a lot

of pain.

I have mixed feelings about chiropractors. A friend of mine has a cousin who

was paralyzed by one.

But, there is nothing left to do. We've tried everything. She's not in school,

and so wants to go back in Sept.

And the pain is horrible.

This guy apparently is great with kids. He even does babies. I can't imagine

why anyone would need to take a baby to a chiro. But, if I take her to her dr,

he'll just give her more muscle relaxers, pain killers and PT, which haven't

helped in the past.

If Mike were here, I'd take her over to his house.

Hopefully I'm doing the right thing. I'm pretty much done with doctors, except

that has to go to an endrochronologist. She's having a bone scan done

today. Her Dr is concerned about her breaking ribs from coughing. Especially

since she's just 17.

I just hope this chiro can help . Being broken down at 15 is just too

much for any of us to bear.

My hubby and I had to go to his bosses retirement party Sat night. We saw a

bunch of people who were over in England with us, and we hadn't seen in about 3

years. Everyone wanted to know how the kids were doing. While I sat there and

listened to everything their kids have been doing, and which ones were

graduating high school and heading off to university, I got so depressed. These

are people we know pretty well, as we all lived close to each other over there,

and spent a lot of time together. Our kids all went to one of 3 schools, so we

know all the kids too. There were about 60 families over there together, and

about 20 of them were at the party. And, of course, they also brought stories

about the people who wern't there.

Everyone was saying their kids were doing all these great things, and all we

could talk about was how sick ours have been, and all the problems, and being

behind in school and so on. It was toruture. I wish I hadn't gone at all.

I just want something good to happen. Right now, can't even sit at the

computer to do her internet english course. has been hurting, cause she

keeps reinjuring her ribs, and she's still tired from the mono, so she hasn't

made much progress with her course either.

People kept telling me the other night that things will get better, but I'm

having trouble seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. It's

awful of me, but I just wanted to scream at them all that they were making me

sick with all their talk. They have no idea what we've been through.

My back, neck and shoulders are killing me today. Maybe I'll see this chiro

too, if he helps .

Hugs,
