My Dehydrated Horse
I go to the chiropractor twice a month because of an old back injury. I tell my chiropractor that he is my safety net. Because of those visits, I am willing to take risks that otherwise I would never try. My husband also goes–40 years of construction work has taken its toll–though not as faithfully as I do. Over the years we have developed a friendship with our chiropractor, and he jokes with me about Nick and how he waits until he is in pain to come in.
So yesterday I went for my regular appointment. He told me that if Nick was a horse, he would be dehydrated. I said, “What!?!” His response: “You can take a horses to water, but you can’t make him drink. I think he is one of the most stubborn men I have ever met. Don’t get me wrong,” he said. “I think he is a great guy. Just really stubborn.”
Don’t I know it!

Hahahaha! Your chiropractor sure knows how to crack a joke.
I’ve been considering seeing a chiropractor – someone said that the knee problems might be related to a compressed nerve in my back. Can a chiropractor see that with xrays or do I need to go have another MRI?

My experience is that they can often see what they need from the xrays. Check with your chiropractor and see what he says.
A stubborn man??? Is there any other kind?? lol
Our grandson will be a full-fledged chiropractor in about another 1 1/2 yrs.. I always tease him that I am going to come live with him—-just so I can get free chiropractic care. Of course, he plans on opening his practice in southern California, which is another good reason to live with him!! I could be WARM!

Very good! I think you are right. I honestly can’t remember any man I’ve know of any age who wasn’t stubborn. Nick stands out even in that crowd though. It was a man who said this about him.
