For this week, anyway, the doctor visits are finished.
The chiropractor last night hammered my pelvis back into place; I felt it pop in what I hope is a good way. However, she began messing with my knee and I had to put a stop to that. My knee has given me fits over the years and its best left alone.
Of course her several little movements of "I'm not manipulating it, I'm letting the body take its course" before I stopped her have left it a little painful.
Like the foot pain isn't enough.
The oral surgeon this morning said the mucocel could go or stay, but if I chew on it I'm liable to cut it and introduce bacteria, etc. He doesn't believe it will go away on its on. After learning that he will only use a local numbing agent and not force anything else on me, I agreed to have the surgery in early October.
I liked this doctor; he was very kind. I also liked the fact that he didn't force me to make any kind of decision right away and left it up to me.
Then I saw the dentist and had a cleaning. That went fine, except the hygienist was a little loopy.
The shot in my foot seems to have helped a bit. I walked for 10 minutes on the treadmill this morning. I was delighted to get back to my walking routine. I've been riding a stationary bicycle every morning but much prefer walking. I decided to ease into it with a half-mile today and then move up in increments every day until I get back to the three miles I was walking.
I think it might be better if I were not doing all of this on the treadmill, though, so I need to see about finding someplace else to walk. The fields would be nice but they're full of cow doodies and who wants to walk in those?
I was told to rest for a few days after the shot but I didn't have a spur either. Hmmm... My chiropractor doesn't mess with knees or elbows or ankles. Quacks.

ReplyDeleteWere you aware that your pelvis was out of line. I looked back a little in your old entry and it does not mention anything, just that you were going to the doctors. I am curious because I think something is out of line between the lowest part of my back and somewhere above my tail bone. I walk to the beach every day but it hurts and it takes a while for it to stop hurting. I am learning that I can no longer go every day but must rest every fourth day. And I think my butt is getting higher. I thought it was to drop when one gets older! LOL! I think I need to see a doctor.
Hope you are feeling better.
