Week Past 03/24-03/30/08 (Chiro Brother)
W signed up for a chiropractic consultation at the gym sometime last week. Since it's discounted for a couple she also signed me up. I went to their clinic for my consultation this week. Dr J ran a thermal and static scan attached to a computer down my back from my nape (cervical) down to lower portion of the spine (sacral) and x-rays side and front to see the shape of my spine. A computer print out of the result was handed to me. She then explained how the spine and nerves work to provide natural healing of the body. Based on the initial result of the scan as shown in the printout she told me where the "subluxations" are in my spine and how it will be corrected. So a series of "adjustment treatments" must be scheduled. The spine was compared to a bent rubber hose that cannot be corrected with a single stretching.
Mon 03/24 I had my first of thirty something adjustment sessions. It was quick. I'd say two minutes. The Chiro Dr told me to lie flat on my stomach (wearing my street clothes). He then ran his fingers down my spine "feeling" something out. Deep breath in then out. A sudden pressure with his hands was applied down a certain spot on my spine. Unngh. Then lying down on my side with a jerking motion, with his one hand on my shoulder pushing it and the other at the hips pulling it, I felt and hear a crack on my lower back. That felt good. Last while lying on my back he again ran his fingers feeling the back of my neck. Then he held my head moving it slowly from side to side. I knew what was coming. This is what some of our barbers do in Manila. I heard stories about people breaking their necks. I'm not sure if it's true. I told myself just relax and let it go. He's a Chiro Dr right? He knows what he's doing right? With a twist of his hands I heard a crack on my neck. And I can still move. The session is ended see you again.
Fri 03/28 morning I drove W to the airport before reporting for work.. She's going to Manila again for two weeks. Business and personal trip. Sat 03/29 I was back at the airport to pick up our eldest brother who flew in from Canada. He attended a company meeting and was able to squeeze a visit overnight on his way back to Manila to look at our not so new home and say hello. With a limited time we proceeded directly to the Mall of America to buy some things for his kids and shoes. He said our clothes are priced lower and without taxes. We were planning to eat at the Mall but being a Saturday their food places were packed. You can't find a table at the fastfood section and there were lines in almost all the food stalls. Off to Burnsville we went. Had a late lunch that was also our dinner at the Old Country Buffet. Bought a coffee liquor at the Blu Maxx liquor store. A quick shop at the Burnsville Shopping Mall then home. Sun 03/30 after the 8:30 mass we had brunch at the Clubhouse then left for the airport at 11:00 am. That was really a quick visit. By 1:00 pm I'm home by myself for the next two weeks or so.
