Teaching 88 Keys

I went to the chiropracter this morning. You see, he claims that my back is "very sick", and he's not sure that he can fix it. He is treating me aggressively for 2 weeks, seeing me 3 times per week. After the sixth treatment he will assess me.He claimes that I must have improved by at least 25% for him to continue treating me, otherwise he will refer me to another dr for surgery. He is the second dr to tell me that I most likely will require surgery. Well let me just tell you this.....surgery is not an option! Spinal surgery only has a 25% chance of improvement! Not to mention that I am i single parent...a self imployed single parent. If I'm not teaching piano lessons then I'm not getting paid. The recovery time from this sort of surgery is long. Can you picture it...I recover from surgery, my back is still messed up, my utilities are all turned off, eviction notice hanging on the front door. Please somebody pinch me, for this must surely be a nightmare. But all is not lost, because....
I went to the chiropracter this morning for my third treament. It was the halfway mark before the dr decides wether he can continue treating me or wether I need to have surgery. You would expect that I would be feeling better at this point. No, I am not. I limped out of his office feeling defeated. I yelped out in pain as I slid into my car to drive home, thinking only of running to get my pain medication. While driving home, the continuous stabbing pain that I get from the sitting position was annoying, to say the least. But as I pulled into my driveway I remembered a very important thing. I remembered that in all my life I have never been let down by the Lord. Every time that I have asked for his help, he's been there. So I spoke to him. I asked him to please heal my back through the hands of this dr. I know that He can. So here I sit at my computer ( yes I said SIT ) I've been home for approximately 19 mintes ( 19 minutes since I asked for help ) and I have not taken a pain pill yet. I'll keep you posted.
