Good wake up

I woke up this morning in NO PAIN!!!

About 15 years ago, I walked down the steps of my dorm and twisted my ankle at the bottom. Then about 10 yrs ago, I stepped out of the shower (just as I would any other day) and pinched my sciatic nerve - only to find out that it was connected to the ankle injury. Since that time, I have had chronic back pain. I see a chiropractor about every 6 weeks to treat the pain and readjust my body. My body goes out of line very easily.

But this morning, I woke up and was not in pain! Most mornings, I am in pain and I work my way through it through stretches and stuff. Man, would I like some good meds for this, but I since I see a chiro for the pain and not a regular doc - I adjust naturally to the pain. My plan lately has been to stop sleeping on my stomach, so I sleep with a kingsize pillow on my left side and a large foam wedge on my right to prevent me from rolling over. To be honest, I feel like a newborn in a crib. But hey, it's working!
