One hundred and first day surviving cancer:
My work day has just begun, but I feel like I've already accomplished so much. This morning I woke up and went to the chiropractor. I was kind of nervous about it. Hugh told me that after we looked at my x-rays, we'd do an adjustment if it was needed. I've never had one before so there was a small fear that something would go wrong. I see stuff on tv and think, "Shouldn't that kill or paralyze that person?!" I know it's silly. I know these guys have gone to school and studied this stuff for a long time, but it's still weird to me.
Well, Hugh and I went over the x-rays and my lower back is surprisingly better than I had thought. There is obviously some scoliosis there, but the curvature is surprisingly normal. He said he doesn't usually see a normal curvature with the amount of pain and especially with scoli, so that was a good thing. Now there's the bad...we took a look at my neck and it's RIDICULOUS! The curvature is completely backward. Yes, backward. He said he hasn't seen a case this bad in a really long time. I also am developing a bone spur in an area I've been complaining about lately. He said usually he doesn't see that in patients as young as myself. I told him that's the story of my life. SO, apparently I'll be seeing him twice a week for the next five weeks so that we can try to get my neck back to normal. HA...normal...
I headed to First Merit to deposit the money from the Benefit. That was bitter sweet. I had to take a picture before I sent it off. Lol. Yes, I have issues.
After that I headed to Dr. Sailors' office so that I could help out the lady who was filling out all of my medicaid papers. She called me because she didn't know exactly what was going on and it was just easier for the two of us to do it together. Thank goodness that's over with...for now at least. Now it's just the constant jumping through hoops and playing phone tag. Oh the games the the government makes us play. Hurrah.
I went to Giant Eagle to see if anyone had claimed the phone I found yesterday. I figured if they hadn't and no one came within the next few days, I'd try putting it up on Craigslist. Fortunately, it seems as though they located it. Maybe now God will send me a phone that works. Hey...a girl can dream.
Speaking of dreams, I had the most hilarious dreams last night. What a glorious change from the nightmares that I've had for so long. First there was this part where there were tons of people in what looked like a basement and it kind of seemed like a theatre camp. Sarah and I were called on to do some improv thing. We came from opposite sides of the room, hugged and then briefly discussed what we were going to do. We laughed hysterically about trying to do the one we made up about spray tan salespeople. I thought that's what we were going to do and then it turned into this crazy funny thing about us siding houses. It was insane. I had given my camera to someone so they could tape it but my battery was dead. After we were done, we passed a tv and it was like a cartoon talk show and Mickey was hosting. He started singing and having people repeat it. Then he started beat boxing and the audience tried, but then you started hearing people go, "Man that's hard, I can't do that. Who knew Mickey could beatbox?"...stuff like that. Then Mickey says, "Well, I know someone who's really good at that!" and Justin Beiber comes out. He's singing this song about how everyone has a cartoon version of him and then as he's performing, the "real" Justin Beiber comes out and starts singing for this "theatre camp". He's singing and then Judd Nelson (circa Breakfast Club) comes out and is singing...well mostly rapping...with him. THEN this other guy, I'll have to see if I can find who it is, comes in and starts singing with them. It was INSANE. Somehow there were screaming girls/women EVERYWHERE and the three of them were on this huge stage. Seriously hilarious and ridiculous. I'll take that over insane demon dreams and dreams of people trying to harm me any time. It'll drive me crazy that I don't know his name and therefore it'll be really hard to tell you who it was, but I'll figure it out eventually.
Today is the 72nd anniversary of my favorite movie of all time, The Wizard of Oz. There have been some plans to watch it tonight, but I'm not sure if that's going to happen or not. I certainly hope so. It seems so fun and festive to do it on the anniversary. :D Well, I think this is more than enough for the day.
