I MUST stop putting off going to the chiropractor. My neck has been out for ages, and it's culminated in a three day headache ending with migrane and puking. You'd think I'd learn one of these days. It was compounded by the fact that the gal I was going to wasn't getting my neck - her adjustments weren't holding, and I was having to go back every month. That was bad. So I went back to Dr. Jeff while I was on Christmas vacation. So this time, it was either make a trip to Muscatine or find a new chiro. I opted for the latter, and Randal gave me a recommendation.

I liked the guy well enough. He insisted on x-rays, which turned out to be good, because my neck was waaay off (no wonder I was having headaches). See, your neck is supposed to curve, but mine was straight. Check out these neck x-rays. Mine wasn't nearly so straight as these, but it was definitely enough. I spent last night very sore and very ice-packed. I'll head back tomorrow for a follow-up, but I feel so much better already.

I think my biggest problem is that I spend so much time looking down at my desk. He recommended one of those arm-thingys to clip on your computer, but my problem is that I rarely look at any one piece of paper for very long. Pull a number off, go on to the next one. I am going to start working on my posture, though. No more sitting cross-legged in my chair. So I have to move my waste paper basket and recycling bin to fit my legs under the desk better. I've spent the entire morning throwing adding machine tape on the floor. Three years of habit is going to be hard to break.
