Chiropractor

I finally got to visit the chiropractor today, after days of pain. Though I am still achey in my back and neck, it feels different. Also, she gave me something to help with the digestive issues I’ve been having the past week or so. So, I might actually be able to sleep tonight.

I certainly hope I do!

God, help me to sleep well tonight especially and each night afterward, please. May your will be done, even, and especially so, if it isn’t my will. Thank you for this life. Please, keep my husband safe and well. I hand over all to you, that it be done by your will, not merely by my own. In your name, I pray. Amen.

Getting taller

We have finally worked out, it seems, a safe an effective way of having my neck stretched and releasing the somewhat compressed vertebrae in my neck and, even, upper and middle back. Golly, did that feel amazing when those three stretches released all those tight spots – just wow. I can tell that I still have a few more spots in that area, but we don’t want to shift too much too fast, so we’ll let it all set a bit over the next few days, and then reevaluate.

We have almost figured out how to release my lower back, just not quite. Several vertebrae did release down low, but the two that are kind of rotated toward each other did not release. I felt them get so close, I could almost feel the relief. Alas, they held on in the end. But this adjustment was loads closer to getting them back to place than we’ve had recently. God, of it be your will, please, allow my full spine to resettle into its best form soon, allowing me to pursue your will most effectively with my body fully intact and thriving. Help me, too, always to honor my body and, therefore, you and your creativity and creation. In your name, I pray. Amen.
