QUESTION

 

I HAVE SEVEN CHIROPRACTORS IN FOUR STATES.

I do not remember any asking me this question as they routinely adjust my neck!

“How do you sleep?  On your back, side…”

I responded to this chiropractor whom I was seeing for the second time in a week, 

“Actually,  think rotisserie chicken!”  As Tom nodded agreement and chuckled,

Dr. Foster said, “NO, NO, we must figure out a way get you off your stomach!” 

“But I have missed it so much this week, having a ‘kink in the neck’ that prevented

me from sleeping on my stomach!”

So, Dr. Foster must have a weird sense of humor like mine as he responded with a

WHAT IF.  “What if I stood here with my head turned 90 degree =/- as I talked to my

patients  ALL DAY?  WOULD my neck have a kink in it every day?”

He proceeded to suggest a ‘body pillow’  even though I already use a knee pillow…

 

I will have to try his suggestion.  He also agreed that I needed to stop with the

Whiplash-like 4 point landings; in fact I am sure at MY AGE I just need to stop tripping

over SNOW SNAKES, door sills, falling up stairs, down stairs, falling PERIOD!!

 

So there you have it friends, a new leaf on my tree, an OLD HABIT to break, a new 

question for any and all doctors to ask their patients.  HOW DO YOU SLEEP?!
