Have you ever....

..had a day where you feel pretty good..happy..all sorts of healthy..

..and loving the fall-like weather..cool..crisp..

..and loving an early-out day because you have a "look-see" appointment with your hubby's chiropractor?

See Exhibit 1:

You go in..meet the young {like about 13 years old...}chiropractor..and she takes X-rays..

See Exhibit: 1-a

...and then you find out...

one shoulder is lower than the other one..

"Wha??"

See exhibit 2:

"OK..well that's not too bad..right?" says me..all curious and trusting..

"well..." says she..{insert nervous chuckle}."there's also.....that 'curve' in your spine..see this? It's pretty common as one .... um....ages.."

See Exhibit 3:

"EEK" I say...

"And then there's this..." says she.."uneven shoulder, crooked spine......and one hip is lower than the other.."

See Exhibit 4:

.."and...because of your uneven hip...one leg 'appears' to be longer.."

"Seriously...seriously? Well, isn't  that just ..awesome.."

See exhibit 5:

"Geesh..now I don't feel so good...all crooked and all."

And..there's this nursery rhyme that keeps running through my head...

" There was a Crooked Man  Woman"

There was a crooked man woman and She walked a crooked mile,

SHe found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile.{what the heck is a "stile" ?}

SHe bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse.

And they all lived together in a little crooked house

Getting old{er} is certainly not for wimps, huh?

*note to self: check the foundation on the house...
