MAC'S FIRST K-LASER TREATMENT



I took Mac in this morning for his first laser treatment. They were going to take him in the back but I wanted to watch and felt like Mac would be more comfortable with me in the room. So they set up one of the exam rooms. First, we all had to put on protective glasses. 

He started rotating the laser at the top of his spine and worked his way down, spending about 6 minutes.  Then he moved to his hips, followed by each of his knees (cranial cruciate ligaments). By then, poor Mackie’s legs were shaking… he had been standing up the entire time.  I was there 45 minutes so I’m guessing the entire treatment was 30 minutes, about 6 minutes on each area. 

Since it’s a heated laser, he could leave the laser in one spot but Mac didn’t seem to mind or feel any discomfort except he was scared. It probably felt good. I asked him if he could do my back when he was finished.  Ha! 

They said I might notice a difference tomorrow or the next day or that he could be very sore from the treatment.  I’ll see how he reacts to his afternoon walk or if he wants to go. He’s good about letting me know.  The next treatment is Wednesday. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Wishing you peace, prosperity, lots of love & happiness in 2013.
