May 17, 2009 Home Again

May 18th, 2009

The flight home was long but uneventful. All of our flights were on time and so we had no trouble making our connections. The Air line staff on the flights and at the airports were very helpful and provided us with excellant service helping us get to where we needed to be.

We spent our first week at home getting used to the unpacking, getting used to the time changes and getting over the jet lag. Christine bought some Melatonin which we took just before bedtime and this seemed to really help us to sleep the first few nights we were at home. We didn’t get much sleep on the trip home so it wasn’t too difficult to go to sleep when we got home and then get into a routine here.

I am feeling good and am walking OK. I feel like have a bit more feeling in my feet and legs. However my balance is still poor as my spine seems to be way out of alignment from my neck down. We have been looking into the Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic treatment. It has to do with the Atlas bone at the C1 vertebrate. If this is out of alignment your shoulders appear slanted when standing, your hips are out of line and one leg seems shorter than the other. I have all of these symptoms and have been wearing a lift in my right shoe to compensate for the leg shortness. I feel that if I can get this corrected that I will have a good shot at walking without my cane or at least walking with much effort with it. We have found a chiropractor that does a treatment like this so are planning to investigate that further next week.  If anyone is interested in this procedure/treatment you can find out more information and watch a video about it on Montel Williams website or you can also go to www.nucca.org     Another website is www.c-1.com
