Living with low grade pain

Wialea Falls in Kauai is almost always two streams, with a third tiny one down on the right. This summer we must have caught the runoff of a storm on top of the mountain for this is a gusher.

A little over two weeks ago I began to have what I thought was a muscle pull in my back left shoulder. When the pain persisted but did not get better or worse with exercise I finally went to the chiropractor today.

Turns out my spine and rib were out of whack and I am hopefully going to feel better as a result of the treatment I had today.

I am struck by how much this nagging pain, which increased when I was driving or sitting in a regular chair, made me feel like doing nothing.

Visiting two fine men in hospice, both in pain, and we pray it will soon be over. Its quite a promise, no more pain.
