Well, this the week for physical therapy and chiropractic for me. I was feeling good that I had not needed to go for three weeks. It was saving us money. But lately I have been waking up with headaches more frequently than what I care for.
Monday I saw my PT for a treatment. He found several painful knots in my should blade areas and in my shoulders. When he hit on one, I said it felt like there was a marble there. He said,"That's not a marble. It's a big knot."
Today I saw my chiropractor. She said that when you wake up with a headache it is usually an issue in the atlas...the very top of the spine where it connects to the head. So she set about to make adjustments. My goodness! She was hitting on some very tender points. I was told to go home and put ice on my neck.
Tomorrow I will go back to physical therapy in hopes of getting more knots loosened up so that maybe I won't have a repeat with the headaches.
I am constantly reminded of the verse in the Bible that says we should say, "If the Lord wills we will do this or that..." (my paraphrase if it isn't just right) When I wake up at 4 or 5 in the morning with a banging headache...I know that maybe the Lord has other plans in mind for that day besides the ones I had laid out. But He is always good...even when I have trouble seeing His goodness, He is good. He teaches me the fruit of the Spirit through the tough times.
