Back in my little village one of the things we were taught
is that keeping one’s body working as it should is best done by a Chiropractor.
I use to see Dr. Soprano all the time. However since arriving in SWFL I have
not been able to find one who was willing to give a cannoli an adjustment.
The several months without seeing a chiropractor was beginning
to take a toll on me. I was getting headaches and was not standing up so
straight. My shell was even getting a bit brittle. A cannoli is fragile enough
without having to worry about these such things.
Luckily I finally found a chiropractor who actually knows
just how to treat a cannoli! Dr Sean Kirkpatrick is his name and he is located
behind Lee Memorial Hospital…you can see the landing pad for the helicopters
from his driveway. In fact, one was landing while I was waiting for my turn and
I went out to see it a bit closer….yea not such a good idea….I was almost blown
away from the force of those spinning blades. Luckily for me Dr K as he is
called came out to rescue me. That would not have been a pretty site!
After catching my breath from my near encounter with a
helicopter, Dr. K took me into the adjusting room. He has the same tables we
have back in my village, only much larger. He also has this other machine for rapid
thrusting and an activator that he used on me. They do not have such things back
in my village. I have to say he was very gentle so as not to crack my shell.
What I really liked about Dr. K is that he is very relaxed
and casual. You feel like you are visiting a friend and that you are part of
the family. He does not wear a white coat, which I think is kinda stuffy
anyway. He does not think because he is the Dr., that he is superior or
anything like that. He makes you feel relaxed and very comfortable. Let’s face
it ladies….he kinda look like one of them wrestling fellows doesn’t he?
I must say that thanks to Dr. K I am feeling fit as a fiddle
again. I have scheduled myself for weekly visits to ensure that I stay that
way.
