Midevil Torture Rack

I had the first of 20 treatments today on the drx9000 and it was certainly different. You lay on this table (they start you standing up and it tilts down) and they strap you in with a lot of different straps. Then it goes through cycles that last about 2 min each, which gently pulls your spine. It was a tad uncomfortable but nothing drastic. You stay on this for about 1/2 hr.

Then I got this back belt to wear all the time except for sleeping and showering. It is extremely well made and comfortable, It really didnt bug me until just now - I had it on for over 12 hours. The belt is about 9" wide and restricts your movements big time. (trying to wipe is a real chore).





I also got a bunch of horse pills, omega 3, and joint anti-inflammatories and bone strenghteners etc. I have to drive abou 5 -20oz bottles of water or diet tea per day. I mentioned it to Randy at work yesterday and when I came in today, there was a whole large case of 1.5 L bottles of diet raspberry white tea sitting in my office. I totally cracked up! I managed to drink a whole bottle during my shift plus another bottle of black tea and a whole bottle of water with Crystal Lite at home. I feeling like I am floating. (or bloating as the case may be).

Tomorrow I get fitted for the custom made inserts for my shoes.

Well the Dr. said I was not to lift anything or bend over. Well how else was I supposed to take the recycling out to the road for the garbage tomorrow. How else was I supposed to feed the cats, or clean the poop out of the litter box. How am I supposed to do laundry and change the litter box? How about grocery shopping? It is impossible not to bend from the waist. Good Grief - I don't have a maid. I wont be able to rake leaves or cut the grass even. I can probably cut the grass but will not be able to pull the rope to start the mower. I guess I will not be able to follow all the instructions after all.

Well off to bed - have to do it all over again tomorrow.
