Last September I stopped for gas in Gillette WY while on a cross-country motorcycle trip. Wyoming, as it turns out, is extraordinarily WINDY. I was battling the wind from Devil's Tower to Gillette, pinning my accelerator but only managing 65-70 mph!
By the time I got to Gillette, it was clear I wouldn't make it too much farther - especially since my neck was killing me after several hours of this windy nonsense. I stopped to meet a really pretty dog in the back of a pickup truck - and then met her owner, the lovely and gracious Kim Maycock. We chatted about my trip, travel times in the wind and so on - and I mentioned I hoped to find a nice place to stay and maybe a chiropractor in the morning. She shook her head and laughed - "I'm a chiropractor!" she said.
She offered to do an adjustment for me but was then worried about my lack of diligence in ascertaining that she really was who she said she was. Heck - at that point - if someone offered to drive 18-wheeler over me to resolve my neck pain, I would not have said no!
I got horizontal on the sidewalk near where she was parked and she got on her knees, cradling my head in her hands. She didn't just jump in there - she really checked out what was going on with my muscles and did some rubbing and stretching before she adjusted me - and she knew what she was doing - only one adjustment on each side (some chiros take multiple attempts, you know? I don't go back to them!) - and my neck is still doing great - months later!
Thanks for helping a gal out in a pinch, Kim! All my love to Marilyn! read more
