Well, dear COG readers, I have good news and I have bad news about the back:
The good news? The pounding I'm taking at the chiropractor's office (hey, that actually sounds fun!) is working. I found out a few things about my bones that were news to me. For one, my left leg is about 9mm shorter than the left. My hips are twisted slightly so that they aren't square. And my #5 vertebrae is fused to my tail bone (apparently it is supposed to be free-moving). Since I started treatment, I can actually stand straighter, so that is a GOOD thing eh?
The bad news? I can't run for about another 3 or 4 weeks. Doctor wants me to give it a rest while he moves me bones around a bit. The worst part is that when he finally gives me the running green light, I need to start off on the treadmill to reduce the shock to my hips. Ugh.
So I'm going to go on an eating strike until the running is back on the calendar so I don't put on all the weight I lost in the past year. Wish me luck, and eat a few extra carbs for me!
