I've certainly had an incredible day, and I'll have to write more about it when I'm back in Sacramento. I'm leaving at daybreak tomorrow to try to avoid a lot of commute traffic, and hope the Calgrove Fire hasn't worsened and caused I-5 to be closed in the Santa Clarita area.
Jeannie, Donald, Donald's Mom (Martha), Ara (who flew out to CA for a week or so to be with them, plus Autumn and Arianna have been at Disneyland for the last 3 days. My niece, Stephanie, also drove down from Santa Cruz to join them, so it was a big party.
I had my appointment with Dr. Bergman at 7:30am, and Jeannie, Ara and Autumn came along a little later. The procedure is that the testing and Xraying is done early, and then you go back in the afternoon for the results, plus adjustment if needed. We all came back together and were seen together (Jeannie, Ara, Autumn, and me). I was blown away by the results and the prognosis, and will see a corrective chiropracter in Sacramento who is recommended by Dr. Bergman. I hope to come back to Huntington Beach in 3 months or so, and again in 6 months, but will have the adjustments done closer to home.
I am not as bad off as I thought I was, although there is a lot of work ahead, and I am going to do everything i can to take part in my cure - yes, "cure". I know a lot of people don't want to consider chiropractic, but it makes sense to me to try to cure a problem rather than have a doctor perform a lot of tests and prescribe drugs to mask the symptoms. If you don't agree with me, that's okay as I'm not trying to convert anyone. I will write periodically about how my treatment is going and hope the results speak for themselves. If anyone is interested in what Dr. Bergman has to say, and he has lots to say, there are well over 100 YouTube videos on just about every medical problem. These videos resonated with me because I have become disillusioned, disgusted and cynical about the medical profession and the proliferation of drug ads on TV and in print.
After our 2nd visit to Dr. B's clinic we drove to the beach. I hadn't planned to go but figured I might as well see what it's like. Here are some photos looking toward the water (click to enlarge):
These photos were taken looking away from the water - they don't adequately show how beautiful this place is. I wouldn't want to live and drive here, but it is gorgeous!
I'm going to bed early tonight and get up very early in the morning. Hopefully the trip back isn't too bad, although it is a Friday.

My swamp cooler hasn't been working - the fan blows air out but it certainly isn't cool. Steve came by today and got on the roof, and determined that the tube that carries water to the tray with four pads in it, where the fan blows...

I traveled a total of 7,846 miles between April 2nd and June 26, about 86 days. I didn't take the side trips I normally try to take, with the weather being the major cause in most cases. I am so glad I got to see Dinosaur National...

I'm doing a little better but still lacking energy. My sister has had some medical problems and daughter Jeannie stayed overnight with her on Monday night, and asked me to come over to be with her for a while on Tuesday. I did and went...

I'm trying to keep up with blog reading, but am not commenting as much as I usually try to do. It's after 3:00 pm and I'm still in pajamas, and doubt I'll get dressed today. I called to try to get an appointment with...

I spent the afternoon with Jeannie to firm up our travel plans for the latter part of July. That will be about 7 wks after Donald's knee surgery and he should be able to get around if he doesn't overdo it. We thought about mixing cabin...
