Yet Another Adjustment Story...

Well...after a month of romping around Spain, I am back in the good ole USA! As good as it is to be home, I do miss Spain mucho...

And, after a month of sleeping in beds as hard as rocks, planes, trains, buses, cars, and everything except what I should have been sleeping on for my spine, I finally got the chance to go back to the chiropractor today to get everything realigned.

Side note: why is it that all of my stories seem to take place at the chiropractor's office?? It seems like I have no life outside of his office. I promise I do!

So, I go to the chiropractor today for the first time in over a month. I know, roll your eyes because it's yet another chiropractor story.

Dr: "The last time I saw you, you were getting ready to go see your neurologist in St. Louis. Did you talk about me and tell him all about me??"

Me: "Ha! Nope!!"

Dr: "What!? I'm hurt..."

Me: "Sorry! We had more important things to discuss."

Dr: "Well then! *long pause as I get situated on the table* Pulling off the bun look today I see (referring to my hair)."

Me: "Yep...it's because my hair's wet (I worked out prior to my appointment so I ran home and took a quick shower)."

Dr: "It looks nice. Not very many people can pull off the bun and the down long look."

Me: "Uh...thanks..."

Dr: "I just sounded like a creeper, didn't I?"

Me: "Yep!"

He gives me an adjustment (much needed)! And then the following conversation takes place.

Dr: "So, how's your summer going? What have you been up to?"

Me: "Well, I just got back..."

Dr: "From..."

Me: "Spain."

Dr: "Oh! That's right! I forgot! So, where did you go?"

Me: Spain. HA!"

Dr: "Well no duh! Who did you go with? How was that? Did you have fun? Did you lose weight?"

Me: "Western for study abroad. It was amazing! I loved it! It was fun except for the part where I had to go to bars and walk 9 incredibly intoxicated people home. Didn't really enjoy being the designated walker... And yes, I lost weight, hence why my pants are so large."

Dr: "You look great! And that's really awesome that you were able to stay so strong in the faith and be an example to them as well as being the responsible one of the group! How was your health and all while over there?"

Me: "Um...eh. See, I've been having a lot of weakness in my left leg, and it's been giving out on me. My MRI's have all come back normal - negative for MS, tumors, and blockages/clots."

Dr: "I'm not treating your leg, am I?"

Me: "Nope."

Dr: "Let me try something. Lay down on your side. *He moves me around in some crazy position* I really don't think it's your head that's causing this leg weakness; I think it's your back..."

Me: "Um...this is awkward..."

Dr: "Haha! And it's about to get even more awkward!"

Me: "Alrighty then! Thanks for the heads up!"

And now, I sit here with an ice pack on my hip as it is quite sore. Hopefully whatever awkwardness (and soreness) I experienced today will be completely worth it tomorrow!!

Maybe I'll post more about Spain next time. I've only downloaded pictures from the first 4 days, which is about 250 pictures... Yeah...

Time for this girl to go siesta (my absolute favorite habit I picked up in Spain)!!!! :)
