Home Alone. Again.

So far this year, Jon Paul has gone to a wedding in Texas without me in March (even on my bday), a conference in Geogia without me(in April), a retreat for teens without me (in June), a camping trip without me (also in June), and it sure feels like more... but that's all I can think of right now...

So, once again I am on my own this weekend, Jon Paul is escorting 150 teenagers to a Franciscan University Youth Conference. I was suppose to be there with him, but nooo... I'm home. Alone. In bed.

Why?

Once again, my back is aching like crazy. I decided enough was enough and went to the chiropractor to find out what's going on. After some x-rays it was determined that my left ilium is out of place (pelvis bone) - it has rotated back and down... then the muscles around it are so tight that it got stuck there and can't move back on it's own... soo doc did some electro-therapy and some adjustments and sent me home feeling worse than I did when I went in. We asked him about going away on the trip and he said it was not in my best interest to go... So, here I am... home... Disappointed that I am not with Jon Paul and the rest of the teens on their way to Steubenville. Jon Paul had to quickly find a replacement chaperone for me. Luckily, a parent of one of our teens was willing to spontaneously give up her entire weekend... So, I just trust that it is God's will that she is on the trip and not me.

The worst part is that I am more or less confined to bed for now. I go in tomorrow for another adjustment, and hopefully that will provide some relief.

The craziest part of all this is that the chiropractor that I pulled out of a hat because he takes my insurance, ended up being a parent of kids that go to my school! Yes, that's right. The school where I teach - 30miles away... He lives in Dayton and commutes to Piqua, and I live in Piqua and commute to Dayton. I had no idea who this guy was before... or even when I saw him. It wasn't until he looked at my charts and saw where I taught when we put two and two together. Crazy!

Praise God for computers, books, and tvs. Without them, I'd be bored to tears... Now I am reading up on some long awaited information. More to come on what I discover (today i am focusing on using coupons and getting the most out of them. It is quite fascinating and really giving me the desire to use coupons and save $$)...
