been suffering a literal pain in the neck that's been wrecking my sleep so i went to a GP whose exam was so perfunctory he didn't even look at or touch the affected area until i asked him. in the end all he did was prescribe a muscle relaxant, which the pharmacy tried to push 3x more of than i asked for. despite being warned against them by a neurologist friend because of stroke risk, i visited a chiropractor who was pitched to me as a holistic healer. interesting but the adjustments were scary and left me sorer than when i came in. so then on the day after thanksgiving i gave acupuncture a try and it was promising so i followed up with an even better practitioner who was able to pinpoint the problem through careful attention and intuition. was it small talk, genuine interest, or just a distraction tactic to get a better read on vitals when she asked what i did for work? i don't know, but when i told her i'm a contractor she asked if i made a lot of lists. not really, i explained, mostly i just draw plans and visualize the steps; the rest just bounces around in my head. then, as if to contradict myself, sarah and i made this list to keep our weekend and then some straight. ✓ to done! |
