A few months ago I rode to pick up my youngest son from school, bringing him home for the summer. As we all rode in the cab of a Toyata pickup, we were very comfy. But as I got out of the truck, I noticed my foot hurt. The one that had been bent at an angle and squished in the floorboard alaong with my son’s big feet.
My little toe was purple.
But would turn back to the color its suppose to be, once I got up and walked around.
Next thing that happened, was it became uncomfrotable to wear shoes. So I bought a pair of slippers from Wal-mart that looked like pink pigs. And walked around wearing those. They’re splattered with white paint from painting the ceilings.
Pain began waking me up at night. I’d get up and walk. I’d also put my foot above the heating vent to warm it, while standing propped up against the wall. Some nights I actually feel asleep standing up like that. I’d wake up when my cat crawled from the mantle onto my shoulder to see what I was doing.
I went out and bought larger size shoes.
I went to the chiropractor to get my back adjusted, as the pain ran from my hip to my toe. Only to have my back out of adjustment within an hour of being adjusted. I could walk for an hour but at the end of that hour, every muscle in my calf and thigh would be rolling and cramping. And my little toe was still purple.
One of the things going on during this time, is I’m celebrating. Because if I can feel pain, it means the neural pathways damged during my strokes have healed. I cana be tickled about feeling pain, when before there was only numb.
What’s up with my little toe?
Turns out there’s a nerve bundle at the junction of my 3rd and 4th toe, that is inflamed…irritated..and has swollen into a bulge. It’s the bulge that has been hampering circulation to my little toe. Once the Dr. gives me a shot in the swollen nerve bundle, everything will be fixed.
And I can go get my back adjusted and it will stay put.
I manifested being uncomfortable with having a lot of nerve…..
Hell…no wonder it’s been hurting to drive with a clutch. Everytime I put in the clutch, I’m coming down right on top of the inflamed nerve bundle. Eeeeeeoooooowwwww….
ISN’T IT GREAT TO BE ALIVE!!!!!

Healed from top to bottom! I need to learn to be as thankful in such times as you are able to be Sue.
A suggestion, I’ve found great relief of structural imbalances from applied kinesiology.
Chiropractic stuff has always scared me a bit, but with applied kinesiology the adjustments aren’t “physically”-directed, they are chakra/energy system-directed. Very slight physically, but very powerful with the energy system.
When I had my first session, one of my legs was “longer” than the other – hips were out of place a bit. A small tug on my left leg and they were the same length. Amazing stuff.
Now the adjustment she did on the center of my back, that was something – after a couple cracking sounds, I felt an entire energetic shift over my whole system for 5-10 seconds afterward; almost an out-of-body experience.
I’ve been lucky in that I’ve never faced any really serious physical ailments in my life, but I’ve always had a strong ability to handle the physical world.
We become stronger where we need it, with the experiences of life. In experiencing them, I think you’ve found the secret Sue – attitude is everything. But it helps a lot to know a good doctor!
Take care Sue, maybe look into applied kinesiology, I think you’d find it intriguing! A quicker fix maybe?

Thank You Joe. It’s the kinesiology that has gotten me this far but I’m tired of going to the store in my pink piggy slippers. It’s going to be the rainy season soon.
I am at ease with chiropractic. My older brother was once one. He did acupuncture, too. Once the nerve istaken care of, I’ll be able to walk normally and feel my foot, too!
I’ve had 11 major surgeries, including 2 angioplastic ones. Starting with 1/3 of my intestine being removed due to gangrene at the age of 2.
I’m the ‘miracle’ baby that lived. I’m the one whose body reprogrammed the blood to flow through my brain in the opposite direction.
I’m not a china doll.
I’m a Raggedy Ann.
Smiling.

Thank You {{SE}}.
Lucky for me, it’s only been my left. I’ve just been tickled I can FEEL my left foot. And my left leg. The levels of tendons and muscles have been numb for 5 years and are just now coming back on line. When they cramp because I’ve stomped on the irritated nerve, I howl like Scooby Doo, laughing and enjoying myself at the same time. My tears are tears of JOY!
If it wasn’t a holiday, I’d be beginning my office appointments today. As it is, now that I know what is going on, I’m not trying to climb any ladders to paint high ceilings. I’m staying off of it and enjoying my leisure.
I have a valid reason for the kids to wait on me, now.
