Chiropractic Care

I started seeing my chiropractor in or around February 2018. I asked the VA to refer me to a clinic here on Guahan. It took awhile to get one. It must've been the paper work. But I was eventually assigned to one of the local clinics on Guahan. 

My sciatic nerve was bothering me. It all started on our trip to Petra, Jordan. I had decided to do the 2 kilometer walk. That's another story. Anyway, My right leg was in pain and we still had a whole week left of our trip. 

I started my treatment in or about February this year. My first visit was really amazing. I was in excruciating pain when I went in. 45 minutes later, when I was done. I was feeling really good. Been going back every week for the last 4 months. And I look forward to it. 

Two weeks ago, I hurt myself gathering mangoes from the back of the house. I thought I pulled a muscle along the left side of my chest and mid back. Then last Friday, I went into GRMC's ER thinking I was having a heart attack. Nothing was found. Heart was normal, pain was still in the 10's.

I learned Monday evening that it was actually a pinched nerve at my midback. Stayed in Bed for two days until this morning. Checked into the Chiropractic Clinic. After some manipulation and popping of my spinal column. I was good to go. Still have some mild pain. However, pain went from 10 to upper 3's. I'm now able to move my left arm and twist my torso. All Is Good!  WOOOHOOO! 

I'm scheduled to go back tomorrow, Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday. Until I get better from this injury. Looking forward to my visits.

Coconut Oil Treatment.

I had an ear ache for the last two days.  I thought I had injured my ear drum from blowing my nose.   Been fighting this cold symptoms for a couple of weeks already.

Anyway, my left ear started to get sore a couple of days ago.  It was hard laying down on the left side of my head.  The pressure on my ear was unbearable.

Last night, I put Coconut oil in my left ear canal.  This morning, my ear is not as painful as it was last night or the day before.  It is still slightly tender to the touch.

I'm glad I read that article online about coconut oil regarding a little girl with an ear infection.  Her mom put coconut oil in her ear the night before.   Next morning, her ear was just fine.

You won't know if it'll work. If you don't try it.

Missed Appointment

Hawaii VA called this morning.   Lady was asking about lab work today.  I told her I'm scheduled for Friday the 10th.  She asked if that is what I wanted.  I was getting irritated with the question.  I replied tersely that was the schedule the nurse gave last month for this month.

A few minutes ago, I was going to input the data into my phone planner.  There was a note for Monday, yesterday.

On the Note: Labwork USNH.
6 February 2017

Now I realized why Hawaii VA called.  I had missed a scheduled VA appointment.  So the Lady was just trying to reschedule me for sometime this week.

There are times, when I can be a real arse.

Going to have apologise when they call back.

We don't Start it. We Finish it.

Last Friday, Rhoda gave me some bad news regarding our daughter.  At first, I was thinking bad grades, or boyfriend.  So I took a deep breath and awaited the bad news that was being dropped on me.

Rhoda mentioned to me, "Your daughter beat up two girls at school today.  But it was in self defense.  One girl was bullying your daughter for a couple of months.  Today,  that girl was pushing Larraine.  And Larraine told her to stop.  When she pushed your daughter again.  Larraine beat her up.  The girl's friend tried to back her up.  But your daughter beat her up too".

As Rhoda was telling me all this.  I was trying to show concern during our face time.  But when I heard: bullying your daughter,  Larraine beat them up, and they're both injured.

I just laughed out loud.  It was hilarious.  I was rolling on the bed laughing...not floor...the bed.

After I had regained my composure.
Rhoda said, "I asked her why she did that".
Larraine replied, "Mommy...daddy said, "we don't start it.  We finish it"".
"I could not say anything else.  Because you told her that", Rhoda exclaimed, "What else can I say?".

I just started laughing again.

Later on, I was able to talk to Larraine and get the gist of what happened.  Apparently,  this girl and her friend were bullying Larraine for two months.  Calling her names, pushing her around.  But it wasn't just my daughter getting bullied.  It was also the other students in the classroom.  Last Friday, Larraine told that girl to stop.  She didn't listen.  So she and her friend paid the price.

I've taught my children to fight to defend themselves.  Larraine was five years old.  Frenfren was two years old.  When I started training them.  Both have defended themselves or others before.

One of our Codes,  "We don't start fights.  We finish it".

SSHO: Short Contracts.

I enjoy working these short project contracts.  At first, I was concerned that the salary won't be much.  However, my other ventures covered that area. I'm only on site for a couple of hours per day.  Then I go work on other projects after I leave the job site.  Or I just go home to relax.  This arrangements also allows me to continue with my teaching schedule. 

I'm currently writing a proposal for another SSHO contract.  A 2-week contract for carpet installation. 

If the negotiations go in my favor, this will be the 4th short contract for the year.  I've completed one earlier in January/February, this year.  A Confined Space contract for Fiber Optic Installation.  Currently I'm working a demolition/renovation project.  That should finish this Friday.  There is one more short contract, a 14 day contract.  It's another Confined Space project for a fiber optic/copper wire installation.  Waiting for the "Go" signal  to start work on that project.

Meeting the accountant.

Had an interesting meeting yesterday with an accountant.  I was looking for someone to do my taxes for next year.  I got some advice on what to deduct: home office, company truck, and other areas that dealt with the company.  Looks like I'll be in zero again for the next tax year.  

Our conversation diverted from taxes to shooting.  We're both trained in weapons and various hand combat skills.   Learned that he's also an Army Veteran.   

Since we hit it off.  I learned about a recent project he had.  He couldn't tell me details due to client privilege.  However, he discovered that his younger brother worked for the same client.   Get this, they were reunited at the client's home.   How amazing is that?!  

Anyway, if you're looking for someone to do your taxes.  Checkout ZZZ Accounting.  They're backed by the US Treasury.  Ask for Christian.
