Arghgh @ Health Stuff

Poor little Harry is sick AGAIN. This cold (or a new one) seemed to rear up again and yesterday he was coughing alot. Then last night he woke up with a fever and did what he always does with a fever - throw up everywhere. He can't stop coughing and is feeling really sorry for himself :( I've been shoving medicine down him since midnight.

Meanwhile my back yesterday reached a point of no return. It's been bad really for the longest time but it peaked, pain wise, after Harry was born. I had been seeing a massage therapist during my pregnancy and I went back to her only for her to tell me she thought my pelvis had gone out of alignment and that I needed to see a Chiropractor. I saw one and he seemed to fix it. Then it got worse again and we moved, so shortly after arriving here in Seattle I found a local Chiro and went to see him about it. He managed to make me pass out by over-cracking my neck which is incredibly dangerous & needless to say I didn't go back.

I've basically been in pain for the last year but recently it has become alot worse, and yesterday morning I woke up in agony. So I finally bit the bullet and went to see another Chiro here. She was actually rather good, she did a very thorough investigation and determined that my lower back is 'profoundly inflamed' (and also that my right leg is lots shorter than my left?!) and did some initial treatment. I have to say I slept alot better last night! I'm not pain free but it is significantly better than it was. I have to go back this morning and again on Tuesday and hopefully it'll soon be alot better.
