Taking Care of Myself

Tweet

Yesterday I finally did something positive for me. I've needed a chiropractor for years, but always felt the need to hold back, mostly because of my younger son who considered all chiropractor's as quacks. I knew better, but I wasn't going to argue with him. When I broke my right ankle a few years back and my leg and foot swelled, I had the idea that I needed a realignment of my hips, especially since I had been wearing a boot that caused me to walk lopsided. When I got the boot and cast off people asked me why I was walking like a duck. I called my friend's chiropractor yesterday and he was able to see me yesterday. When I told him I needed my hips realigned due to having broken both legs, he agreed with me and after taking X-rays to determine how fragile I was, proceeded with an adjustment. He said he could tell the difference in my walking just with the first adjustment. He also said it would take a few treatments to get everything aligned properly. I'm really hoping that this will allow me to not only walk better, but also cause me not to be out of breath so quickly. I'll be going back again next week. I'm greatly encouraged that everything will be normal soon with my body and the swelling will go down and I won't have legs that look like tree trunks anymore but normal looking legs. I'm also hoping I'll be able to walk and stand for longer periods of time and I won't need the mobile cart at the stores anymore. That would be great! I'm also hoping this will help in my efforts to lose weight. Especially if I'm more mobile than I am now. Have you done anything that was purely for yourself lately? What was it? Thanks for reading.
