I managed to stop at Archiver's on the way home from the chiropractor yesterday and soothed my itch to touch and purchase new product. I didn't go overboard - she couldn't quite sell me on a Smash book (my practical nature says I could make my own that's more personalized to me) despite them being 30% off - and I couldn't find the Jenni Bowlin inks I wanted - so I came home with these few things.
They'll tide me through the weekend.
I was pretty much in pain during my shopping event, so I'm sure I missed some things. I couldn't bend down to reach things off the bottom rows, so I had Markie doing that for me.
------
As for the chiropractor - I think his exact words were - "Um. Whoa"
My neck was out as well as one of my ribs. I stopped for Motrin on the way home - and after two stores, not being able to find any (why is Motrin so hard to find lately? I've been looking for months) I went with Advil. I immediately popped four (total - 800 mg) and they didn't do a thing.
To get in and out of the car was sweat breaking and eye wincing. I went to sleep with a Motrin PM and a heating pad.
I'm about 70% better this morning - I can walk without wincing - but I'll go back for another tweak tonight just to make sure. I'm still sensitive in my neck and shoulder, but I can lift a few things today - which makes laundry doing ever so much easier.
I skipped story hour only because the idea of getting in and out of a vehicle again makes me nervous.

I have no idea what's for dinner

Wendy went to school today despite the fact that the substitute secretary told her she should stay home and rest today if she didn't feel well yesterday.
I'm a mean mom and said - sorry, no fever - out the door you go.

'bout it.
Looks like we have similar likes - I think I have purchased most of those things pictured.

I bought 4 of the same items :)
I'm glad you're snapped back into place. That sounds like it was beyond painful.

I don't know whats for dinner either...but its easier for me than it is for you....I have a few that can fend for themselves :) I think I am going to Mall Of America to look for a dress, so that's a nice excuse to stop in at Archivers....
Hope you are feeling better...

Sorry you're feeling so bad. When your back or neck hurts, everything hurts. I know what you mean about Motrin. I recently found a large bottle at Sam's. Why is it when something works great, they discontinue or change it or it is in short supply?

Aw. I feel for you. Neck and back pains can be pretty annoying and excruciating at times. But I think your chiropractor give you some tips to ease the pain. Looks like he is doing a good job with your back!

Are you still having neck and back pains dear? I hope not. I know how it can be such a burden every day. I’ve seen my mom wince even with the slightest movements. Chiropractors are a really great help as they provide not only temporary relief, but they also correct muscle and bone alignments.

The most common causes of neck and back pain are poor posture, stress, and heavy lifting activities. These cause the muscles of the neck to tense up, which can lead to severe neck and back pain. Having chiropractic care is one of the most effective ways to lessen, or better yet, cure such pain.

Ouch! I know how you feel. I thought that pain killers would suffice, but my neck pains keep coming back to the point that I can’t do my job properly. It’s a good thing that you are consulting a chiropractor. He will surely help you deal with the pain. My chiropractor is great too. She always gives me tips on how to prevent my posture from getting out of place. I hope you’re feeling better now, btw. Take care!

The fact that you were able to bend down and reach sorts of things was already an indication of excellent progress, my friend. Good for you! I hope you were able to endure the chiropractic treatment until the end. In that way, you can move, bend down and be able to perform dynamic movements without feeling any pain.
