Visit to the Chiropractor

Finally I made it into my chiropractor today, my friend, Dr. Tony and my beloved massage therapist Leo. I waited the whole weekend to visit with him. This weekend was terrible and I hope my lowest point. I think I mentioned I pulled the muscles in lower back lifting up from the bed. That was it. I could barely walk after driving in the car for fifteen minutes. I got to the yoga studio and lied on my back on a rolled thick towel. The heat immediately started to help. Kris could see that I was walking to left. It's obvious at this point that I have some herniated bulging discs. That was early Saturday. Let me take a breath. Saturday night my six year old stepped on a peanut shell at Five Guys and touched his shoe. Little guy immediately began to react to the peanut. And off we went to the ER. It was a traumatic night for him and my spine.

Every time I'm in the yoga room or in the heat it gets better. I start to stand up straight, my stomach and my spine aren't twisted. Even my guts start to get twisted, I'm sure affection my organ function.

Today I made it in to see Dr. Tony. My walk is off, everything is crooked. Great. I have to work on my core more. The doctor told me I should especially focus my gluts. I'm on it. No I'm not. I haven't done one back bend on the wall in at least a week and a half. In the back ward bends you have to squeeze your ass like a rock. I have to. I guess it's time to start putting my hands on Kris's new studio walls. I've got tomorrow. I've got tonight, some camel before bed. Hah, maybe I should try grabbing the sheets like how Mary said. She said after she had her car accident she would set up in camel next to her bed and pull on the sheet as she backbended. Mary would hold camel posture for 10 minutes before she went to bed and in the morning before she woke up. I'll give it a try.

For a silly moment I thought surgery might be an option. Right now I think the pain is starting to get emotional for me. I can't go there. I wish I could get my spine adjusted everyday. When I was in bad shape the first time I went to that first back bend clinic and got spinal adjustments everyday or every other day at the most. What an amazing treatment if you can find time and money to do that. Surgery isn't that answer, in fact its the answer for maybe 1% of people who end up living pain free.

Well, good night...yes, good night.

Why me!

Yesterday, after a great yoga class I stood up and over used the muscles in my later back. Today after a struggle in my class my muscles just seem to get tighter and tighter. I can't get emotional about it because I stop breathing. Tomorrow the, plan is to back bend while my crew, does the advanced. I'm staying away from sugar starting fresh and green. Oh God!

Raw Food and Hot Yoga Benefits

I would love to meet Tonya Zavasta. There is also a biography about her on Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tonya-Zavasta/110089422378100?ref=ts She credits her mobility and vitality after 11 hip surgery's to eating a raw food diet and Bikram Yoga. Knowing about people like this makes me want to push forward even more. It doesn't matter who you are or what your problems are. You have the capability to help yourself. That struck me, what she says in this video, "all you have to do is want to help". That is great.
