Different amounts. For different reasons. In different ways. I've started following a couple of facebook groups and blogs that provide ideas. Some of which are helpful to me. One of the things a few of these blogs do, is to link up each week to celebrate the frugal things they've done in that week. Knowing what I'm like, I'm going to endeavour to join in once a month, firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083427737911241409.post-8583367431680935652018-01-22T22:47:00.000+00:002018-01-24T12:46:30.247+00:00Week 3 Update: Old Pale, books and Vegan baking.Let's start with the Vegan Lemon Drizzle Cake: Sadly, not my own recipe, but you can find it on the BBC Good Food Website. I did change the recipe ever so slightly. Firstly, I used Silver Spoon Caster Sugar with Stevia, which you use 1/3 less of than usual sugar and is lower caloried (even taking the 1/3 less into account) than ordinary caster sugar! And then I used the same sugar again (email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083427737911241409.post-90633096968027499382018-01-08T19:47:00.000+00:002018-01-08T19:47:23.543+00:002018 - Challenges - Week 1In a week beset by headaches and migraines, I still managed to make a good start on most of my challenges. In my A-Z Challenge, I purchased an annual pass for free parking in the Forest car-parks, some of which are usually pay and display, and made it along on Saturday for my first ever Park Run!

Zumba Classes Ashen Essex

Despite the fact that Zumba may not be everyones bag, there is little doubt that it is an excellent method by which to improve your social life, stay fit, burn off a lot of calories and have a good time at the same time. So although you may not presently feel that Zumba is right for you, it's normally a great idea to try something before you dismiss it and you might even enjoy it more than you think. If you don't know what Zumba is, you will glean a great deal of info in this post, but briefly Zumba comprises a series of aerobic and dance routines performed together with lively and energetic music.
Zumba - A Potted Guide: Utilizing an enjoyable blend of aerobic and dance routines, a Zumba class is a terrific way to have an amazing time as you exercise. Developed in the mid 1990's by a dance teacher and choreographer from Columbia (Alberto Perez), Zumba is today enjoyed by many millions of women and men around the globe who love the energy and music of the classes.
A Zumba class integrates an aerobic exercise routine with low impact and easy to follow dance moves creating an exercise in disguise. Stop by at any Zumba class and you will in all probability find a group of smiling and happy people who simply appear to be enjoying themselves, and that is exactly what a Zumba session is intended to do. Having a fun time whilst working out and making the entire workout feel like a party that is accessible to everybody irrespective of what age, size, fitness level or experience is the main attraction for most participants. A Zumba newcomer will be made welcome and be accepted into the wider Zumba community in just a single session.
You don't need any specialized equipment or clothing to participate in a Zumba class, just comfy clothes that you don't mind getting very sweaty. You'll realize that there are not any levels in Zumba, you can work as vigorously as you want to, as you have fun during the workouts.
The minute the music starts playing and you follow the moves of your Zumba registered trainer time will fly and in no time the session will be finished. You can discover Zumba registered classes in many leisure and fitness centres, village halls, sports halls and schools all over the UK and picking the ideal Zumba class for you personally has never been simpler. As your experience increases you may even wish to take your own Zumba class and directing a collection of like minded men and women through fun filled, fresh and invigorating Zumba routine can be a very fulfilling experience.
Yoga classes typically last for around sixty minutes and are led by instructors licensed by Zumba Fitness, LLC. During a single Yoga class, an individual can easily burn off between five hundred and one thousand calories, depending on the energy expended. There are currently nine styles of class, each targeting different levels of physical effort and age: Zumba Gold for beginners, Zumba Sentao which uses chairs, Zumba in the Circuit combining dance and circuit training, Aqua Zumba done in a swimming pool, Zumba Toning which uses toning sticks, Zumba Kids for toddlers aged four to twelve, Zumba Gold-Toning aimed towards older people, Zumba Step integrating step aerobics and Strong by Zumba which combines a high intensity workout with Synched Music Motivation.
The music used in Zumba classes is a mixture of the following styles: merengue, flamenco, salsa, cumbia, mambo, axe music, samba, soca, chachacha, hip hop and tango. Some people even integrate pop and rock music into their sessions.
The History of Zumba Zumba began in the 1990's, the brainchild of a dancer and choreographer from Columbia called Alberto "Beto" Perez. The name "Zumba" has no specific meaning and was picked out arbitrarily as a catchy brand name. Alberto Perez partnered with Alberto Perlman (an American businessman) and Alberto Aghior in 2001, to produce a number of fitness videos promoting what was to become a phenomenon worldwide and is today practiced in one hundred and eight six countries with over 14 million students.

Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir government has announced Rs six lakh compensation to the next of kin of each of the seven Amarnath pilgrims killed in the militant attack while the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB) has decided to give out Rs five lakh each to families of victims.
"The state government has decided to pay ex gratia compensation of Rs six lakh each to the victims of the violent attack in Anantnag on Monday night. While seriously injured yatris will be paid Rs two lakh, those with minor injuries will be paid Rs one lakh," officials said.
They said the state government will also give a cash reward of Rs three lakh to the driver of the yatri bus, Sheikh Saleem Gafoor, for showing "exemplary courage and presence of mind" while driving through the bullets.
Governor NN Vohra, in his capacity as chairman of SASB, also announced relief of Rs five lakh to the next of kin of those killed in the incident; Rs 1.50 lakh to those who had suffered grievous injuries and Rs 75,000 for Yatris with minor injuries.
Vohra also announced a special reward of Rs 2 lakh to the driver of the bus, whose alert responses saved the lives of many pilgrims as he kept the vehicle moving even when he was under heavy fire from the front and the windscreen had been shattered, a spokesman for the board said.

Some updates...
1. The Visual Arts team showed up in force on Sunday night to install our Easter set. With a projector re-mount, we should have a very engaging visual presentation.
2. Julie and the crew preparing for our Good Friday experience have been working feaverishly. I think it is going to be a really engaging experience for all who attend. I really look forward to walking my children through and teaching them about the road to the cross.
3. Wow, we just had a great rehearsal tonight with the band and vocal team. John Carlson just said "I've never had a rehearsal go this smooth." This says a lot coming from him. Praise God!
4. Phil, Bill, Don, Greg, and John have all been working hard getting the technology running. Some video editing and programming still needs to be done, but everything is on track. Thankfully, our new digital Yamaha board came in and we've got about all 48 channels filled and sounding great. Just in the nick of time!!!
5. With a strong choir rehearsal tomorrow, it should make for an exciting weekend of Easter worship.
6. A mom and her son who we have gotten to know through my son's class at school has agreed to meet Carrie and attend the Saturday evening worship service at 6:30 pm. This is a great answer to prayer. I am sure it will blow her socks off. I pray God would be made very big to her and others like her through our services.
7. Keep praying that God would use the Easter weekend to win many for Him! Do your part by inviting a friend to come!

- Demonstrated Spiking Time Dependence Plasticity (STDP), the essential property of a synapse underlies memory and learning function of brains for the first time in a single electronic device at nano-scale, making it possible to construct an intelligent neuromorphic circuit at the scale of a brain.
- Conducted device modeling to reveal that the mechanism of STDP in FCT devices is mainly due to the interaction of the movement of different ionic species.
- Explored ways to implement an adaptive circuit with learning function using Synaptic Transistors.
- Designed and developed a novel polymer/Si nanowire hybrid field configurable transistor (FCT) at sub-100nm scale based on ionic doping, which demonstrated unique dynamic and adaptive configurability on transistor threshold voltage and drain current upon repeated pulse inputs, with large dynamic configuration range and decent nonvolatility and repeatability. This device can be essential for future field programmable nanoelectronic circuits with versatile functions and defect tolerance in nanoelectronic circuits.
- Demonstrated a memory capacitor based on the ion-doped polymer which can dynamically and reversibly modify its capacitance between its maximum and minimum values by voltage pulses, due to the polymer permittivity change. And the configured capacitances remain unchanged under voltages smaller than the threshold voltage. The memory capacitor can possibly be used for analog nonvolatile memory.
- Revealed that the capacitance change and polymer permittivity change is induced by the highly polarizable ions injected into the polymer.
- Demonstrated the proof-of–concept of Configurable Doping in Conducive Polymers.
- Designed and developed a novel nonvolatile organic memory (NVM) based on resistive switching induced by ionic doping in conductive polymers using ionic conductors and electrochemical doping.
- Achieved controllable multilevel analog memory effect (memristor) in this device utilizing continuous configurable doping in conductive polymers.
- Demonstrated adaptive learning of input patterns in a 16X16 configurable network using analog memory devices based on configurable doping.

I liked the way the book went from the biological bases of sex and the male and female biological drives and perspectives, and how that can polarise partners - unless there's informed, caring but also knowing and naughty sex to pull them together. Narrated with frankness and a touch of humour, it's vert direct but at the same time does not take itself too seriously. Excellent, practical and personal. Just read it.
This book was clearly written by a man.
The information is cursory at best.
The grammer is awful.
You can do better with your money elsewhere.

Not long ago we hear the sad news from the world of voice aka seiyuu in Japanese. One of the famous voice actors who have filled the voices of various characters in the Japanese animation world passed away last week. He is Hiromi Tsuru who is a seiyuu Bulma, one of the iconic characters of the Dragon Ball Super series .
After the death of Hiromi Tsuru, surely many are beginning to guess who is roughly a substitute seiyuu Bulma later because the character of Bulma should still be raised again in the Dragon Ball Super series. Even Toei Animation itself seems to have not found the answer to that question.
Currently the animated series are undergoing Universe Survival Saga with Goku having just defeated Kefla using Ultra Instinct, his latest ability. The character of Bulma himself is left on earth and awaiting the return of Vegeta and his friends, hoping for the salvation of the whole universe of the seventh universe.
Looking at this, we may assume that the Bulma characters will not appear any time soon. Toei Animation can still postpone substitution search seiyuu Bulma for a moment, at least until the end of Universe Survival Saga .
But what if they return later?
By BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc.
Now you can feel endless action on your palm!
As a true fan of Dragon Ball Super it would be hard to imagine if Bulma's voice should turn into the voice of any later who substitutes seiyuu Bulma. Especially when considering Hiromi Tsuru who has been filling Bulma for a long time.
If you look at this condition, Toei Animation should indeed find a substitute seiyuu Bulma as soon as possible either by auditioning or attracting talents from their own agency. Whatever option Toei Animation runs, we can only wait for who will inherit the throne of Hiromi Tsuru later.
Are you ready to hear a different sound out of Bulma's mouth? Who do you think is suitable to be seiyuu Bulma, replacing Hiromi Tsuru? Answer in the comment field, yes!

So I thought that I was really on top of things but as I reflect on all of my "things", I realize I'm not that on top of it!! The biggest example is our blog! I didn't realize how long it had been since I last updated! So just like my last blog, this is going to big a sum of everything we have been up to the last 2 months!!
Well I'll start off with the most important thing......Matt got his deer! His first ever doe and she was quite the doe! It was fun to see all of his time and hard work reaping a reward! He made a perfect shot, double lunging her!! She only went about 20 yards before she expired! You would think that would calm his craving but it has indeed only fueled the fire! He has continued to be diligent in his efforts in hopes to get his buck as well! He has had a lot of opportunities but has passed, he knows the "Big Daddy" is out there....it's only a matter of time!
Matt and Dane with Matt's first doe! This is how the boys hauled her out...what rough and rugged men!
Here he is, as you can tell from Matt's face, this is probably pretty close to the best day of his life!
What a great feeling to know you won't starve and all because of a loving husband's dedication!
Unfortunately I have not had such luck with my hunting ventures. The first day of the season I was given the perfect opportunity.....only to blow it, twice! I had a deer within 20 yards but shot right over her back! I couldn't believe I missed...that is pretty embarrassing, but Matt was quick to lift me up and encouraged me to try again. So far I haven't been successful but the temperature has dropped and the deer are moving!! I have a few days left and I feel good!
Just call me Hunter Woman!
Just hangin' out in the tree stand!
I also had the opportunity to surprise Cass and visit Texas!! I got a phone call from Brad and he said he was going to his high school reunion and wanted to make it up to Cass by surprising her with me!! I was ecstatic and quickly agreed! He was so great, he made all of the arrangements: he told Cass that his old roommate was coming to visit and asked if she could drive the 2 hours to the airport to pick him up! Cass was very good and said she could do that!!
The day finally came and I couldn't wait. When I arrived I called Brad, who then called Cass to tell her where to pick up "Ryan", the old roommate. It was funny because Brad had found out what I was wearing and told Cass to look for the blonde girl in the black shirt because Ryan was right by her. Cass responded, "Well I can see that blonde girl but not Ryan". I had to really wave her down, she probably would have kept driving. When she finally realized what was happening all she could say was, "What is this?". It was such a fun weekend! We went to the outlet stores, th fair and rodeo, the pumpkin patch, and ended with a girl's night out, just Cass and me! It was so fun to see Cass, Brad, and those little kids! I was happy to have been received well by Brylie and Brody! We definately had a lot of fun together!! I loved seeing Cass and just spending time with her!!
Brody with the pumpkins!
Brad, Cass, the kids, and I at the Heart of Texas Rodeo!
Ahhh I love these little babies!
Us at the Pumpkin Patch!
Curious much?
Matt is half way done with this semester and all is going well! He hasn't been nearly as stressed as some of his other semesters......thank goodness! He will be totally done with all of his classes in December, with only an internship in the Winter to go!! We are excited and look forward to graduation! Work has been just fantastic! My team ended #1 for the month of September with a score of 398.4 out of 400! This was pretty awesome, especially being my first official month as a supervisor! This month has been a little crazier but my team continues to perform really well! It is tradition at the call center to decorate for Halloween and this year the theme was 'Movies'. My team chose the movie "Hocus Pocus" and if you were to see our area you would be very impressed. We have recreated the Sanderson Sister's Cottage, complete with the black flame candle and the spell book! I was given the task of making the spell book and have been very pleased with the final product! Friday is the big Halloween day at Melaleuca so I will keep you posted with contest results!!!
This is the final spell book! Pretty fun!
Matt and I are just dandy, as I've said before, we are probably having too much fun! But you won't hear us complain, we are loving it!

Gaines-Cooper judgment expected in next 12 weeks
Residency case heard in the Supreme Court and a decision is expected in the next few months
Residency case heard in the Supreme Court and a decision is expected in the next few months
THE LONG-RUNNING CASE involving the residency status of Robert Gaines-Cooper was heard in the Supreme Court last week and will be decided in the next 12 weeks.
The case began last Thursday and is still being heard. Gaines-Cooper is appealing against the 2010 High Court judgment that he was qualified as a UK resident in a case worth an estimated £30m.
The multi-millionaire businessman moved to the Seychelles and followed HMRC guidance to ensure he stayed no longer than 91 days in the UK each year. Yet HM Revenue & Customs decided that his close connections with the UK – including ownership of a large estate and regular trips to Ascot – meant he was a resident and liable for a backdated tax bill.
Peter Vains, head of tax at the London office of solicitors Squire, Sanders & Dempsey, which is representing Gaines-Cooper, told The Daily Telegraph it was "difficult to say" what the outcome would be.
"It's been a very big case and we expect to hear the judgment in two or three months," he said.
In a statement, Gaines-Cooper said: "I have every confidence in my advisors and in the British legal system and so will be following proceedings over the coming days with interest, as you might imagine."
The government last month issued a consultation on a statutory residency test to provide certainty about whom is to be treated as a resident in the UK for tax purposes.

Virginia Rd., Crystal Lake, were each charged Sunday with battery for allegedly beating another man, 32, in retaliation for the victim allegedly battering the sister of one of the offenders, authorities said. A warrant has been issued for a third suspect in the case. Police said the three men broke down the victim's door in the 0-99 block of East Northwest Highway and then sprayed him in the face with a fire extinguisher before chasing him outside and beating him up.

Retired police officer to run for School Board
A retired law enforcement officer seeks a seat on the Shenandoah County School Board.
Van C. Holmes III will challenge Sonya Williams-Giersch to represent District 6 on the board in the Nov. 3 general election.
Holmes retired as a lieutenant from the Maryland State Police after 28 years, finishing his time in the planning and research division where he assisted in budget preparation and reviewed legislation.
Holmes, 61, ran against Supervisor Conrad Helsley for the District 6 seat on the Board of Supervisors four years ago and lost.
Holmes grew up in Maryland. He attended University of Maryland and then, while working in law enforcement, completed his degree in police administration at American University in Washington, D.C.
Holmes and his wife Martha moved to Shenandoah County almost nine years ago and quickly "fell in love" with the area. He has spent time since then getting to know the school system by attending extracurricular activities and supporting the teams and groups.
Holmes said he's started talking with employees in the schools, not necessarily in the administration, to assess the education system's needs.
"I'm not looking for the dog-and-pony show; I'm looking for the people that do the work and I've started getting information and ideas from them about the school system," Holmes said. "What do we need to do better from the school board aspect or the administration aspect and what is working really good and we need to keep doing?
"As a teacher, what can we do to make your teaching more effective?" Holmes said.
Holmes also works part-time and said he plans to take the time he needs to as a board member if elected.

text: The Canada Day Lacrosse Tournament is one of the largest minor lacrosse tournaments in Canada. The tournament has been around for over 35 years and brings together some of the best lacrosse players in Alberta and across the globe. Teams have come from Australia, Czech Republic and the United States as well as across Canada. This year the Six Nations Warriors took the Pee Wee A Gold Medal in a hard fought battle with the West Edmonton Blues. One thing I noticed watching the Six Nations teams is that their players have a strong knowledge of the game. You can tell these young Six Nations players have watched a lot of Junior and Senior lacrosse. A lot of what they do on the floor is very similar to what you would see at a Junior and Senior game. It was great lacrosse to watch from both teams. Here is some video from the Gold Medal game.

Return of the Mack
Remember when Olivia did her job and did it well? Remember when she fixed things for folks other than Fitz and his needy, selfish behind? Bring back new clients and the Olivia we know and love. Fix it Jesus!
Parents Just Don't Understand...That Murder Isn't Always the Answer
It must be very, uh....interesting to have parents who who kill people unnecessarily to protect you and give you what you think you want. However, then you have to admit your parents are sociopaths and that's a bit of a sticky wicket.
Papa and Mama Pope (bravo Joe Morton and Khandi Alexander!) were not here for Fitz treating their daughter like a used dishrag, so they joined forces to teach Fitz that there's a price for a free and fair election and to get him away from their daughter. All they had to do was blow up a few things and kill some folks, including Fitz's oldest son (or brother, depending on who you believe) on national TV on the eve of the election. After all, in Papa Pope's world "He took my child so I took his," is a totally reasonable rationale. Oh, and let's not forget Papa Pope also wasn't having it when Fitz took his other "child," B613, when he made Jake Command, so Papa Pope had to let everyone know who was really in charge. Ladies and gentlemen, when someone tells you, "I am the hell and the high water," believe them.
Is Olitz Over?
One of the major bright spots in the season 3 finale was the pumping of brakes on Olivia and Fitz's torturous love affair, or as the kids call them, Olitz. In the beginning these two had so much passion and chemistry that it was hard not root for them despite all the adultery. However, as the seasons rolled on, we got to see Fitz in all his awfulness and the havoc it was wreaking on Olivia. That, and the fact that Mellie became a lot more sympathetic this season , the Olitz relationship drama just got tedious and frustrating.
Now that Olivia has left D.C. to stand in the sun with Jake, let's hope that we won't have to hear anything about Fitz and Liv making jam in Vermont for a looonnnggg time. These two need a break. Not the D.Wade/Ludacris have a baby with another broad type of break, but a significant time out is definitely in order.
Quinn. Gotta. Die. (But Harrison will probably be the one)
Confession time: I've NEVER liked the Quinn character. She was annoying and stupid when she didn't know her name was Lindsey and she hasn't changed during her time with B613 and her return (?) to Pope & Associates. She's like the bothersome little gnat that you just can't kill no matter how many times you clap your hands in the air. Oh, and let's not forget those gross sex scenes with Huck. Lawd. Now that Quinn has located Huck's ridiculously attractive family, one can only hope that Quinn has outlived her usefulness and will go be annoying somewhere else.
|RIP Harrison...Maybe?
I really need these Black actors to get it together. Have we learned nothing from Isaiah Washington or Gary Dourdan, two actors who screwed up the best TV jobs they were ever going to have for some mess (Isaiah's case was a little different, but you get my point)? I learned from it, and I'm not an actor. On the real, Columbus needs help and hopefully he'll get it before he hurts himself or someone else.
Anywho, that's my rant about Scandal, and I'm sticking to it. While enjoyable at times, this season strayed from a winning formula, and one can only hope that Queen Shonda realizes this and gets back to basics.
Stay random,

Title: Falling Kingdoms
Author: Morgan Rhodes
Genre: Fantasy
Edition: Hardcover
To be completely honest, I only picked this book up because I saw the cover of Rebel Spring (the second book in the series) in the bookstore and fell in love. I didn't even know this was a series at that point but after laying eyes upon that beauty, I had to look into it.
I'm a pretty huge fan of the Medieval/Renaissance period so I will read any book centered around such a theme. Hence why I powered through this book–rather painfully–despite the very basic writing and painfully predictable plot. At every point, I could guess exactly what was going to happen and be right. Even though this novel is supposed to be YA, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was reading a middle grade book with characters so superficial, only a child could be truly satisfied with them. There are four main characters: Princess Cleiona (Cleo), Prince Magnus, Princess Lucia, and Jonas Agallon. Cleo lives in the beautifully lush kingdom of Auranos while brother and sister, Magnus and Lucia, live in the bitterly frozen-over kingdom of Limeros. Jonas Agallon is a mere citizen of Paelsia, yet another kingdom in the magical land of Mytica. Magical is more than just an adjective in this case as the land of Mytica is full of magic. There are sorcerers, witches, and guardians called Watchers that live in the Santuary and can take the form of hawks to visit Earth. This magic has unfortunately been receding in Limeros and Paelsia for reasons unknown. If anything, the characteristics of these three kingdoms contrast each other very well and it's easy to see the different lifestyles led by the respective peoples.
As I said, the characters are incredibly superficial and I found it hard to possess any semblance of compassion or concern for them. Cleo is simply a typical frivolous teenage princess although she does not come off as stuck up. Jonas came off as an impulsive brat and although his anger towards royals was explained, it was not written well enough for me to understand and appreciate his character. Therefore, he was just annoying. None of the characters had any depth with nothing really to them besides their title. Which brings me to Magnus. Ah Magnus. He played a huge role in my completion of the novel and was the sole reason I decided to continue the series. His character alone made up for all the other inadequacies, in my opinion. Magnus is damaged and to me, it felt like Morgan spent more time on his character than all the others because he had depth where the others had none. Maybe it's just because I have a soft spot for damaged boys or what but I found myself actually feeling Magnus's pain and understanding his turmoil.
There was one section of the book where Rhodes had a massive opportunity for beautiful character development for Magnus…and she just didn't grab it.
A huge opportunity, I tell you. He was torn from the start whether to follow in the footsteps of his father, the King of Blood, or to be his own person – someone who was not completely cutthroat and full of bloodlust. But in that one section, something happened that could have gave his the resolve to be his father's child. The last sentence of the chapter was "His heart turned to ice." for crying out loud! But…Rhodes let it go. Excited to read on, I was disappointed to realize that his character literally did not change at all. I couldn't be more angered because at that time I fully came to cherish his character and I do not appreciate when my cherished characters are done so dirty. Regardless, I read on because he's still a great character.
My last quibble about this book is the romances and there will be spoilers here. They are horrible! Cleo and Theon for example. They knew each other for like two minutes. Then when Theon rescues Cleo from captivity, he kisses her and basically says he loves her to which I'm like – okay? A bit random but I can deal. But THEN Cleo immediately pours out her undying love for him in return and that gave me tremendous pause because readers are in her head the entire time and not once does she ever mention anything at all hinting at such strong feelings for her bodyguard. She literally barely acknowledges him if only to say how annoyed she is that he has to follow her. She refers to his good looks but that hardly translates to love! That declaration was so ridiculous that when he died, I felt absolutely nothing. Was not sad, did not cry. Neither did I sympathize with Cleo as she "grieved" over the supposed "love of her life".
I complained a lot about this book but I wouldn't say that I don't recommend it because the series does get better. It takes time and patience and if you are the type with no tolerance for basic writing and basic plots then you might not even give it a chance. However, if you are a medieval feen like me then I say go for it plus Magnus is worth it.
If you've read Falling Kingdoms, comment what you thought about it. Love it? Hate it? Let me know. This is a long review/rant but if you liked it, follow me for more! Thanks for reading! x

Testimony from a concussed guy or how my Chiropractor treated me for a concussion
A few months ago, I had an accident that caused a concussion and small brain bleed.
I was in the hospital for 2 and a half days for testing and recovery.
While in the hospital I saw a Neuro Surgeon who told me to rest for a week and that I should see a Neurologist for follow up. When I was discharged from the Hospital, I was feeling dizzy, my balance was not what it should have been and in general, I just felt 'Off'.
I did have the follow up visit with a Neurologist, he told me to monitor my blood pressure and see him again in 6 weeks. He did not offer any suggestions for therapy or anything that I could do myself to relieve the symptoms of dizziness, and that feeling of being 'off'. Because I had never experienced a concussion before I did not really know what things I could do to relieve those symptoms, I was wondering if I would have to live the rest of my life feeling 'off'.
After 3 weeks of laying around and resting, my lower back was sore, so I made an appointment with my Chiropractor for an adjustment. When she found out about my concussion, she immediately advised me that I could perform some very simple exercises that would help my brain recover from the trauma associated with the concussion, get my balance back and help me get that feeling that all was well again with my body.
I started those exercises under her supervision, and lo and behold, those symptoms of feeling 'off' started getting better. For the past month I have been working with my Chiropractor twice a week and am starting to feel normal now. I had a follow up with my Neurologist and he cleared me to return to the Gym and I can start riding my bicycle again. I am now seeing my Chiropractor once a week and the feeling that my body is 'off' has gone away.
So, I am sure by now that you know my Chiropractor is Teri Wisner. I cannot say enough for how much her treatment has helped me recover from that concussion. Don't get me wrong about my visit with the Neurologist, I respect him for the knowledge he must have, but if you want to get better from a whole body perspective, just stay with your Chiropractor, and of course, stay with Teri Wisner, she's the best and she does know how to treat Concussion symptoms. Hmm, I wonder if she knows how to tune up my bicycle.
