Rant; Winter 2013/14

This latest round of snow is going to make Saturday fun though. I hope we get more on Friday. I can't wait to watch people try and play softball in the snow. Hopefully my back will be better and I can play too. Felt a slight pop this morning while I was getting ready for work and now my back is extremely stiff. After sitting for a bit it takes a few minutes before I can actually stand up straight. First time I've ever had any issues with my back so I have no idea how temporary this is.

It rained all last night. There's mud in my yard goddamn it. When is this winter ever going to end?

Sounds like a disc may have moved out of place. The stiffness is probably due to the surrounding muscles protecting the disc. You might want to see a chiropractor.

Honestly, if I was fully equipped for it (snow tires, snow shoes, etc...) I could live in this stuff full time. I was outside shoveling this morning and apart from my back, it feels great when I'm out there. The air is crisp and fresh, and I like how quiet everything gets. The echoes are all muffled and I don't hear a sound from the highway about a half mile away.

I've actually emailed someone to find out if our insurance covers chiropractors because that was my first though. I don't think they do though. A friend of the family used to be one... but he passed a couple of years ago (only in his late 40s, cancer). I do know a guy who just graduated from Logan though. Maybe I'll give him a call.

I was heading to work and got a flat tire that can't be repaired. Just in case I needed another kick in the nuts.

I got wet coming in from lunch today. I am pissed.

I forgot my fashionable shoes and have had to work in ugly, practical snow boots all day

Not to diss on chiropractors, they run the gamut I'm sure. But don't rule out going to your doctor who can write script to see a ortho-phys therapist.

Chiropractor does no more good than a massage therapist, and possible a lot more damage. Go to a doctor, go see a massage therapist maybe, but stay away from the chiropractor.
