    • About Me

      Love to work with children. I am married with 2 children, one dog, and two cats. Now there are two dogs, four cats outside, and two rabbits inside. Living in the house is my wonderful hardworking husband, one 17 year old who knows so much more than I (he believes) and another young man (age 18) who has become my husband's right hand man with chores and equipment. Another son lives in a nearby town and I try to call him each day to say hello and to let him know I love him.

    • Close Chronic Pain

      Was injured on the job, am receiving workers comp. Four herniated disks, two on nerves. Have received the three epidurals. Pain is intense, worsens with activity throughout the day. Went from working 60 hours a week and taking care of family and home to struggling to take care of family and home. Working on taking care of myself more.

      Treatments

      Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
      After a few months, the pain level decreased. I could stand up, fix food, go to the bathroom, shower, etc.

      Just received the third one. Waiting to see if the miracle happens and if I am better and how much.

    • Open Parenting Teenagers (12-18)

      I have 2 boys, ages 20 and 16 and one more that lives at our house age 18. Most of my thoughts about my youngest son were altered in the last month. My oldest gave us and at times gives us now emotional mind games and manipulations. I am stuggling to find my balance with the boys in the house and their friends while dealing with my disability and the youngest's medical issues.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Both my sons didn't like it and the oldest in the past refused to go and the youngest now refuses to go.
