I went to the chiropractor yesterday in further attempts to solve the problems I have been having with my shoulders and knees. I have always been a firm believer in modern medicine, but when their response to my pain was “Don’t do things that make it worse and take Advil when it hurts.” I started to get a little skeptical. So I thought I might look into some more natural, alternative care.

I had Sim check our insurance to see if chiroractic care was covered before I spent all our money on something that might work. Turns out it’s just a co-pay, the same as a doctors visit. Excellent. So I made a call based on a recommendation from a lady in Sim’s office.

The office was adorable, the staff was friendly and the doctor really seemed to know what he was talking about. He poked, prodded, and twisted me. Then it was time to take some X-rays. He asked me if there was a chance I was pregnant. I said I really wasn’t sure, I was kinda in the gray zone (cross your fingers for me!) and I wouldn’t know for another week or so. So he walked across the room and handed me a lead apron to wrap around my stomach area and said, “To protect little Sammy and Susie.” He paused and looked over at me and added, “And Johnny. Just incase you have triplets in there.” I laughed a little and said, “I hope not!”

But just so you all know, if I happen to have a multiple birth, we can all blame the chiropractor for that one.
