Milwaukee Lakefront Air Show

We took Chloe to the Air Show today.  She really has a thing for the airplanes.  They were so loud we had to put earplugs in her ears so she wouldn't freak out by the sound of them buzzing by so low.  It was a nice hot day so we were lucky to be in the GE tent right on the lake.  It was also the first time Chloe went to the beach.  She wasn't crazy for the feel of the sand on her feet.  Hopefully she will change her mind someday.

My Back Pain - No More Chiropractor

I am currently on chiropractor visit number 14.  It is starting to feel frustrating that my foot is still numb.  I can attest that my back doesn't hurt and I don't need to walk with a cane any more but I still cannot feel my toes on my left foot.  If I stretch my leg it cramps up terribly.  It just isn't getting any better.  The physical therapists are young and unengaging and the visits are starting to feel like a waste of time. To top off my frustration, as I am waiting in the chiropractor's office, I am asked to stop by the billing office. 

I have been paying the balance of my visits through my flex benefit account so they are getting paid so I don't know what this could be about.  As it turns out, I was only eligible for 10 visits a year through my insurance, and they were apologetic that they did not notify me of that 4 visits ago.  So they wanted to offer me a package deal, 10 visits for $40 each, paid in advance.  I said I would get back to them on the deal. Because they were so late in notifying me, they did also offer me $45 per visit for today and the last 3 times I was there if I didn't want the package deal.

Internally, I was already frustrated with my progess and thinking about how I was starting to feel like I was getting sucked in - this was the validation I needed. I would not be coming back.

I got home and called my doctor to schedule that MRI.  It was time.
