It turned out a little chilly this morning, so we had hot oat meal with 1/2 banana for breakfast. Ethel did the clothes washing. This afternoon I went to the chiropractor and had a heat massage done for 2 sets of 12 minutes each time. The Doctor received the results of my X-ray and MRI. the result is severe hip degenerative Arthritis in both hips, slightly more on the left. Trace of bursitis about hamstrings, no evidence of fracture. There is degenerative changes in the lower lumbar spine. After receiving this report the Chiropractor said he would not be able to adjust me but advised me to take pain pills like Ibuprofen and heating and massaging treatments. Well I had never believed that I had Arthritis, that was for other people but not me. Now I know how painful it is. The Doctor said it is caused from heavy lifting and just ware and tear on the body for all these years.
