[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2357370, member: 9374"] Damn, Patti, that is AWESOME! I am SOOOOO pumped for you! God, what a feeling it must be... You know, my step-dad lives with chronic back and hip pain and is stuck on large doses of meds for it (we've talked about this, I know). I remember a time a couple years back when I had convinced him to exercise. He was walking the treadmill for 30 mins or so every day, AND he was going to the chiropractor regularly. He started at 3x a week, but then when he was feeling better got down to twice a week, then once a week. He was moving the best I'd ever seen him. And then he quit. He couldn't afford the chiro anymore (damn recession and its impact on small business) and he got discouraged and quit the walking, too. Now he's pretty well bound-up and lives in a fog of medication haze and moves like he's in his 70s or 80s. In fact, watching him walk, it's like watching his 85 y/o father. Sad, really, and he'd love to be off the meds... but he doesn't have the dedication to get back to what he was doing before that actually [B]WORKED[/B]! I've talked to him about it a couple of times, but it just doesn't seem to register. :( [/QUOTE]
