I admit that I am thankful for Kree's links and general loveliness. *hugs* I admit that I just saw that Naysha put up my moniker for her (Resident Diuretic) in her sig, which made me LOL. I admit that I lovez my Hibbielicious, who has met my Things and knows that I may want to shake the schnit outta them some days, but I will lay down my life for those two. I admit that I took Thing 2 back to the orthopedist this afternoon because her wrist hasn't stopped aching since they took the cast off 2 weeks ago. I admit that they took more x-rays, examined her, put her in another hard cast, and said she needs an MRI because she isn't healing properly. I admit that I went to the chiropractor after that and got my back worked on. My dr. asked why I waited 8 months to come see him since the pain is almost unbearable. I told him I was hoping it would stop on its own, but it just never did. I knew it was time to get it fixed when I wasn't able to get up from bed last weekend. I admit that he said my back is in terrible shape, but with follow up appt's, I should get relief and not walk around like Fred Sanford anymore. I admit that he turned the electrical stim up fairly high and asked if I was ok. I said "yes, you can crank it up, if you like, it really doesn't bother me." So he did, and said, "I'm kind of amazed that this isn't bothering you." I smiled into the little hole in the table and said, "I have a fairly high pain tolerance. It took me this long to get help, didn't it?" (little did he know that I was turning it into an electrical play scene in my head, LOL) I admit that Thing 2 was in the room with me while I got adjusted, asking all sorts of questions about the machines and how the body works. I admit that when I was getting dressed, she whispered to me, "Mom, wouldn't it be awesome to have one of these electricution machines at home?" I told her it was a TENS unit and the other was an ultrasound machine. I admit that she asked if we could buy one for home, or look on the internet for one. I admit that I said, "No, these kinds of things are only for doctor's offices." I admit that the last thing I need is a precocious Thing 2 hooking people up to a TENS unit because she thinks getting zapped is cool.
