Eskimo to the World

I am Trina Landlord and this is my blog. In a past life, Eskimo to the World documented my adventures in New York – where in minute everything can change. Much like my life changed when I moved from Alaska to the 'city that never sleeps'. From the biggest state in America to the most populous city in the United States. From the immaculate nature of the Chugach Mountains, Yukon River and Bering Sea to the urban tundra of sky scrapers, enclaves of business and cultural capitals and the nation's foremost trendsetters. From 'the great land' to arguably the 'greatest city on earth'. I made a 5,000 mile prodigious leap from Anchorage to New York City – AND BACK TO ALASKA. The determination of Yup’ik peoples to survive in harsh Arctic conditions had given me the foundation to survive on streets of New York, I will continue to chronicle the parallels of both worlds.

On my last Nerve My left leg is numb, tingly with pulses of severe, sharp pain. I thought I was having a heart attack because the left side of my body was throbbing. PSP asked if it the left side of my face was also numb then it was probably neurological. Immediately, I made an appointment with my energy-adjuster chiropractor. In two adjustments, I felt like my entire body opened up. He also scheduled me a massage which was heaven. Despite all this, the pain persisted and got worse as I slowly crept in Tudor Road construction traffic for a doctors appointment at the Alaska Native Medical Center. I drive a clutch and by the time I arrived at the hospital, my leg felt like it was going to give out. Within minutes of meeting with Doctor Summer, she diagnosed I have a pinched sciatica and orders that I take 800 mgs of Advil three times a day. I guess there’s not much else to do except ride the wave of pain of my physical ailments. I guess no breaking into the merengue and the cha-cha anytime soon.
