An Update on my Dad

I'll try to keep this brief. For those of you whom I havn't gotten around to telling, my Dad has been having some trouble with his arm/neck/shoulder/upper back to the extent that it has limited his normal function. It has been getting pained and then going numb for about two months now (a fact I was ignorant of until recently) but on last Tuesday it got so bad that he couldn't drive himself to work. My mom took him to the doctor who confirmed that it was not his heart but wasn't able to tell him much else and put him on some medications. Wednesday and Thursday found him no better so my Mom took him to the Emergency Room at about 4:00 pm on Thursday but they did not return until about 4:00 am. They took 3 ex-rays and couldn't tell him anything new either. On Saturday I took him to the chiropractor who was finally able to tell him what was wrong, his C5 was degenerated or something of the like. Basically there is something wrong with the 5th vertebre in his neck but it is only, in the chiropractors words, mild. The chiropractor did a few adjustments and showed me how to stretch his neck at home and thought that with this he would be able to go back to work on Monday. He was too sore to go to church on Sunday morning but he went on Sunday night and did his best. He went on to work Monday and to another appointment with the chiropractor after that but he was still in a lot of pain. He stayed home from work today and had two more appointments and is going back tommorow. I guess these adjustments must be done in stages. Anyways, he has not been to work but one day in the last week and he is starting to worry me. The doctor scheduled a nerve test for him some time this week so hopefully that will give us some answers. I know God is in control but in the mean time I am running out of DVDs!
