We have headed south

 We made it to Texas last night about 11:30. 

I will be visiting a new chiropractor to put the ribs back in place. Monday Morning. Been doing a little research on finding someone. 

Before I left I saw Dr. Mike Both Tuesday and Wed. I told Dr. Mike I was really frustrated with my ribs. I told Dr. Mike this. I told him I was even quested about going south because of how bad my ribs are.  Dr. Mike knows me well. He knows how to treat me and everything. Dr. Mike said as far as he is concerned he thinks I can't get out of MN. and south fast enough. I need to get really to the AZ. where the weather is at a level pressure and temperatures. Were is is warmer then MN. the home I love. We will see how this experiment does on my body. Praying for some relief.

And it continues popping goes the ribs

 The first ribs are starting to get more stable all the time. That is so good. But now I am popping new ones. End of last week I popped a interior rib that got put back in on Friday. Then Friday night I was sitting up in bed and felt one go one the other side. This one sucks it hurts so bad.  John rubbed some Voltaren cream on it yesterday and he can literally feel it out. You all know where I will be Monday morning. Vadnais Heights in Dr. Mike's office. I have noticed I have having more trouble with my coordination as this flair up goes on. I am sure this is related. 

I am hoping the souther weather in 12 days will help my joints. God knows this is wearing on me.

major Rib flair up

 This flair up is a "good one". Yes, that is sarcasm. I was not thinking I was in a flair up. Not sure why I wasn't thinking that. But yesterday I went to the chiropractor for the 3rd time in a week to put my ribs back into joint. Dr. Mike said this is a bad flair up.  Yeah I guess I am in one. 

When I think about it really I was hurting a lot about 3 or 4 days before last Tuesday Nov. 2nd. Then on Nov. 2nd bed. I woke up on the next morning on Wed. and I felt my ribs were off. I figured I had 1 or 2 out. I know the feeling. I pop 1 or 2 often enough. The office is closed on Wed and knew I could wait till Thursday. I got in right way Thursday morning. By then it was starting to hurt for deep breaths. I am so use to my ribs going out it was odd they hurt this much. When I saw Dr. Mike I said "I need you to put a rib or 2 back in for me please." We smiled and he said he could do that. After he adjusted me he said he had to "put my whole right side back in". No wonder why I was having so much pain. He told me come back tomorrow if I am not better or need to. Well you guessed it I was back on Friday. I popped out ribs again. This time just 2. Actually by Thursday night. I was being so careful. I knew I needed to be. I could tell things were tender. When I saw Dr. Mike on Friday he said he was not surprised to see me. He said  "I was were very unstable". I left hoped for the best for the weekend. Saturday morning you know It I knew at least one went again. Monday morning they still felt about the same. a couple out but I am use to it . It was bothersome but I manage. I did not go to the chiropractor. John was bugging me about it. But I didn't go. Why? I was tired of going. Tuesday morning 1 week from my 1 ribs going out I was back in because I know I can not leave my ribs out or it just causes more streaching and damage. Yep, I had a couple out plus a new spot. 

I have an appointment for Friday already because I know I will not be able to keep my ribs in place that long. I think one slipped last night already before bed. Not quite out but slipped.

I am sure glad I get the injections in my ribs. I can imagine what kind of pain I would be in if I didn't. I am also thankful for my team of Drs. Who work together that provide the right kinds of medication that help reduce pain so I can function mostly. Also adjust my body to correct it when it needs to be realigned. 😷

Then a wonderful husband who supports me. Who nags me for doing to much and lets me too at times do to much so I can feel normal. Then says where are we getting dinner from because he sees I am in no condition to make dinner. I love you honey and your nagging. 👯
