Plumbing problems

For the past 2 weeks I had been producing small hard balls and thank God they were small because they seemed to be backed up all the way up the entire pipe. I have been spared the colonoscopy ordeal because of all of the other test but it has been so uncomfortable that I was beginning to think I should go see another specialist. I had tried stool softeners, all the natural remedies like the Doctor recommended but finally decided to get a bit more serious and bought 2 laxatives. Just like the movie, Dumb and Dumber, the concoction worked, but I could go nowhere for a full day and I spent the day cleaning up. I have to admit, I feel much better and I have a new empathy for digestive diseases and cancers.

I have tried a couple of new healing techniques just to round out all of my options. Last week was my drumming session which was awesome, but I am afraid it wasn't as effective as it could have been if I hadn't been so constipated. There were 8-10 people there with Kristin Salerno leading the session. Soon we were all feeling the vibrations of 8 drums, singing bowls from Tibet, and rattles. Following was a restful, hands on Reiki session where I was the center of attention for all those wonderful energies.

Today I walked with my weekly pair of girlfriends and we dodged the bikers training for the STP (Seattle to Portland) bike ride. I was jealous of all those bikers riding when I cannot trust my balance to even get on my bike-in fact my bike was moved over to the waterfront house where we reside now (7550 E Mercer) and it is laden with rope, kayak paraphernalia, and other things that make it appear I will not be using it anytime soon. So this afternoon I capitalized on an opportunity to have an in home chiropractic visit from Dean Sanna. It was inspirational-reminding me of how good I have it, and what I need to work on to get better.
