reroy's thoughts on chiropractors

I have recently discovered that there are many different types of chiropractors. But I don't see how private health funds still classify chiropractors under 'alternative medicine'. No one has raised an eyebrow when I mention I go to the chiro, and I know so many people who go! I think that its time that chiropractor's were taken off the alternative list and given a place of their own. They're expensive, and Medibank Private hardly give me anything back. Today the first appointment with my new chiro was $100, and Medibank are so cheap, they only paid $31. Like a really bad date, haha! My new chiro is a neurological chiropractor. Apparently there are two or 3 main types of chiropractors. I am learning so much!
It sucks though, cos you should be able to use money from things I don't use - dentures, etc, to things I use way more - chiros.

Anyway, it turns out I'm broken/messed up. Already knew that. As soon as he looked at my x-rays he was like, ugh, oh man. Etc. I'm used to it now! He also made me do these balance things on some machine which measures which way I sway and lean easiest, haha! Turns out I don't like leaning backwards, or to the right. So this means I tend not to take overhead catches as I might not land. Oh dear. But yeah, I guess I wouldn't be a very good footy player! He also suggested I defend with my left arm when playing Netball as I'll probably be able to reach further. Interesting. I will give it a burl.
Also, my tense jaw is apparently TMJ probably to do with my neck.
But one good thing to come out of this is that it would be so much worse if I didn't have good abs. He called them "rock-hard" yesss! lol. So I have to do some exercises on a fit ball and go back next week for some kneading back into place! Hopefully I'm on the road to recovery!

Reroy's Update

So after a long break I'm back. I need a place to post my thoughts, and I think no one cares around me! Haha, or I just have too many thoughts, and it gets annoying after a while.

Today at the supermarket, I went to buy lightbulbs. Seeing as they are getting rid of the old lightbulbs, there are all these new fancy ones there. And they are SO expensive. Seriously like $7 for two. So I took the cheap way and got what was left of the old ones, cos they're on clearance. I'm so poor, I can't afford to spend money on expensive globes!

So now I am single for the first time in two years. Its weird but fun. Interesting to get out there and notice guys. I was so shut off for two years, as I was a good girlfriend, and really didn't notice any other guys. Now I'm like a kid in a candy store! I love going out and checking out new venues and observing the scenery! I am keen to go on some dates, cos I really haven't been on any. I'm just excited to meet new people!

I bought Arctic Monkeys tickets today, and am totally stoked for it. That and Falls over new years. Will be totally sweet. Have some great things planned for summer, I am really looking forward to it!

Now all I need is a job, then I will have some money to spend over summer! :)
