Fantasy and reality

Busy week ahead of us, been a great week behind us. I went to see my osteopath again. My hips have stayed put since the last visit so that was great news. My body can adapt to positive change. So she then focussed on on my spine. Oh my. She warmed up the muscles around my vertebrae for about 20 mins and then told me to take a deep breath in and I knew when I breathed out something was coming. Sure enough - she found that one vertebra that was twisted on an angle so below that she lifted all of them up and dropped them down again and I heard a distinctive pop, like when someone puts their knuckle inside their cheek and pulls out). That noise was my vertebrae dropping back into place. She felt my spine again and the vertebrae which has been out of place for 6 years is back where it should be - like magic, scary magic. She worked on my neck for the rest of the visit - the third and last injury I have but she could not get to it so one more visit should fix that up, I hope. I do feel alot better than before our visits despite the scary movement of my spine but my muscles are responding in kind, I am sleeping better (cannot stop snoring due to post nasal drip - my jaw and sinuses would be affected too she said) and I am feeling more like myself. Jason, on the other hand, starts in our bed and finishes his nights sleep in the spare bed. I feel bad for him but what can I do. Until I adjust and the weather turns permanently warm I am what I am. I sound like Popeye but other than that I am good.
We saw Alice in Wonderland yesterday and we all liked it. I get Tim Burton. This is not a children's fantasy but an adult one. Supper at the Osmonds was divine -Moroccan - thanks Michelle and Keith! 3 games of 120's was great too - too bad the men had luck on their side.
This week is so exciting, I may not sleep due to it. We have been waiting for this for a long time and the routine is anything but boring to us. We are craving routine. Bring it on.
