The best decision..


I almost cancelled the appointment.

I've been sick since Saturday.

Dizzy, hot, dizzy, ringing ears, dizzy, major headache etc.

I wound up in hospital, I felt that dreadful.

Blood tests showed nothing really, a mild infection.

All week I've lay in bed, getting up for half hour spurts to clean and cook and then straight back to bed.

I've taken medications just to make me sleep so I'm not dizzy for those 8 hours of the day.

I couldn't see my regular Doctor until Feb 13th.

So I called someone else.

I had no idea who they were, male or female, young or old, it didn't matter.

At 4.30 I was about to cancel.

I needed to lie down and didn't really want to go. I knew what they'd do, give me more tablets and tell me to go home and rest.

I was wrong (yes Tino, I said it!)

This kind lady told me exactly where I hurt, pin-pointing the exact spots on my head, neck and back.

She used a device which sounded much like a stapler.

And crunched my neck until I thought my head might roll off.

I'm better.

I burst into tears in her office.

And thanked her and wiped my face on my shirt.

She knew when I walked in what was wrong, my neck wasn't right and 'all i did was put it right'.

I keep on turning my head, it feels like my neck's been oiled, like the Tin-man from the Wizard of Oz!

I am so, so, so grateful to this wonderful lady and her healing hands,

{I'm sending this photo as a Thank You}
