Short note.....

Just checking in briefly on my way back to bed.

While I was on my trip last week, the couch where I was sitting was a little uncomfortable on my back. I thought I would fix it by putting a cushion behind me.
So NOW, after sitting like that all week....my back is out. o-u-t, out. Bigtime. I think the disks are pushed to the front.

So after two marathon sessions at the chiropractor things are loosening up. Have to go back tomorrow, but in the meantime I have to stay in bed (or go swimming, he said, float in chest deep water......WHAT!!!) I opted for the bed since I don't have access to a pool.

This morning I realized I was walking like Bette Davis.....ya know, kinda rotating the hips to make a stride? Only slower.....way slower. I told the chiropractor that and he didn't know who Bette Davis is/was. OK. Now I can't walk and I feel old. Way. Old.

I'll be back soon. Prayers please.
Blessings,
Becky

Hang in there, Becky. I know who Bette is! Everyone should. Now, you just need a long cigarette holder (no cigarette, tho) and a sequin dress. You'll be all set for that swivel and it will be a shoc..uh, surprise for your hubby! Lane

I am so sorry you are hurting. There is nothing worse than a backache because you can't stand or sit any way that is comfortable. But at least we know it HAS to be better. Take care my friend

Ouch Becky. I sure sympathize with you. I have back pain way too frequently for my liking. I hope you feel better soon. I remember Bette and I'm also too old to go to a Chiropractor so I win *LOL* My bones are too brittle and he might break something when I was getting an adjustment if I tried it now.

Boy, those pains are really a `pain' if ya know what I mean. Besides the hurting and not getting to do what you really want to do, then there's the realilization that we (ah - I mean you) are getting older ;-)
You hang in there and do what the doc says...
Oh, and I am way too young to know who Betty Davis is (shhhhh)
my best - jay
