To potentially give myself WHIPLASH by falling while walking up a hill. I know, I know…it’s admirable, I’m sure if we made it an Olympic sport I would score high on both choreography and technicality. I can tell you’re all green with envy, LOL! Yeah, not only can I feel like a klutz, but seriously, falling while going uphill?!
OMG…so, I went to the Chiropractor and Doctor today to figure out why in the heck my neck won’t respond to ice, prescribed muscle relaxer, hand held massager, stretching, Tiger Balm, etc. I think I’ve done everything BUT drag out the jack hammer. The Chiropractor found I was really, really out of alignment, so that got all fixed and I go back tomorrow morning for another checkup.
Before the Doctor came in I joked with the nurse that I’m feeling WAY too much like Humpty Dumpty, she laughed! :)
The Doctor took x-rays because I’m fearful I did more damage to my already compromised cervical discs, he said it’s a good chance this is whiplash…I know…you should have seen my expression! There did not appear to be new damage, but this is the reason why nothing is working, he said I need to rest and be patient. I laughed and told him I was going to be released from Physical Therapy one week from today and now I don’t know if that’s going to happen. He said he would write a referral if one was needed.
Oh, and since I’m in a wild hair kind of mood I have to tell you what happened at the Doctor’s office. The Doctor told me Derek, a tall man I’d met before, would be coming in to give me a shot of anti-inflammatory meds I’d agreed to. So I waited and waited and waited.
Finally a woman comes in with a syringe and Band-Aid and tells me I need to have the shot in my hindquarters [my word, not hers].
I told her she didn’t look at all like Derek and she replied, “Oh that’s because he’s a little behind.” I laughed at the pun she didn’t know she’d made and she laughed too. I thought it was hilarious! At least he’s not a big one. LOL! ;)
You know it’s a good day when you find humor in the end…LOL! :) Tee hee hee
You mean in the hind end! lol
Whiplash really?!! Geeze that so required a You tube video!!
OMG, you’re so hilarious, yes, whiplash! Yes, hindquarters, I’ll often refer to them as my tail feathers just for fun. :)
Hee hee! or ruffle ruffle
:)
Good for you! Humour is the best medicine … ;-)
Thanks so much, yes it really is! :)
So sorry. I can relate. I have fallen upwards while walking up stairs, several times.
Good and healing thoughts to you.
Kate
Oh thanks, Kate, so nice of you to stop by and share. Isn’t that something else? I’ve done that too, I think in junior high I sprained my ankle running upstairs.
Healing and warm thoughts to you, dear one.
