My Day
This forenoon was my second appointment with the chiropractor in Madelia. I had no negitives to report from the effects of my first visit. The positive was that the pressure at the base of my skull was less as well as the headaches had lessened. Scott does not do deep message on my neck. With the arthritis that has nestled in, any other adjustment could be harmful. He uses an Activator. Now . . . I had to Google this after the first treatment, as you may well need to also. It was invented by a doctor from Redwood Falls, Minnesota. At the source of a hard marble like knob of muscle and tissue in the back of the neck, the shoulders and the top portion of the spine, the Activator releases a thump that I can only compare to as what it would feel like if someone shot a cork gun off next to your skin with definite pressure behind it. I am not complaining as I have and do feel some relief going forward. Appointments will follow, and yes . . . my insurance covers it. Time will tell.
I had to made a trip to the grocery store when I returned to St. James. There were many, many small items missing out of our pantry and refrigerator. The house suffers from using the oven in this heat, so a cold salad needed to be made. Carrie and Kevin grew up on the ring pasta that after being prepared is pared with small diced celery, small diced onion, small green peas, and 1 can of Spam diced in small chunks. Mayonnaise stirred in until it is to your liking, adding pepper to taste. The Spam adds enough salt to the dish. Each box of the ring pasta is four cups and I always use a half of a box for my mixture.
If Carrie and Kevin didn’t live so far away and so far apart and . . . it were not really a good idea for me to be on the highways in this heat, I would deliver some to each of them. It is a refreshing change out for a supper.
No . . . I do not know how warm it is outside. I choose to believe that this too shall pass.
