Crack your Bones!

The past couple of weeks my back has been really bothering me. So I decided to bite the bullet and try a trip to the Chiropractor. It was a pretty interesting experience really. Of course the minute I made my appointment, my back stopped hurting. So the Chiropractor decided to try and recreate the pain...it was fancier language than that, but the syllables, 're' and 'pain' were involved so I knew it wasn't going to be good. But it wasn't too bad either, actually.

Then she took x-rays and set up these vibrating massag-y things with a wet heat pack on top of that, which felt really good. While laying there I was reminded of the Eddie Izzard routine about Chiropractors. "Make the noise, I live for the noise!" And sure enough she came in a minute later and set about re-arranging me like one of those artist figure dolls until there was an audible 'pop!' I think she was confused that I was laughing.

It turns out I'm going to be making a lot of these trips over the next couple of weeks. The verdict is a very mild and kind of weird form of scoliosis. My spine's not BENT, but it's just slightly twisted. Like you took my lower back and turned it like you were twisting off a pop cap. It doesn't seem to be like much of a deal...It's not like I haven't already lived with it half my life just fine.

Her: So you're just a little twisted.
Me: You're not the first person to say so!

.....yes, but isn't it nice to get that verdict from somebody with a degree hanging on the wall and everything? **snerk**

Glad to hear it wasn't too serious, and, even better, that you got some laughs from the visit. >^_^< Twisted, ne?

XD I could think of a few characters we could send to the chiropractor's office.

Twisted spine is definitely different than scoliosis. Like a Chiropractor is different than an Osteopath because of the spelling.
