I woke up on Wednesday morning and found I could hardly move! I crawled into the bathroom and the pain in my back shot through my hips and up my spine. I managed a shower, and I dressed because gosh darn it, Wednesday is Weight Watcher Day and I wanted to weigh in! I just knew I’d lost weight!
I told Hubby to get up and wait for the Satellite Installer. Then I slowly walked down to the car. I drove to class and weighed in and found a nice loss of 1.2 pounds, and then I left and came back home! I grabbed my heating pad, and the dachshunds and sat down in my chair with my feet up.
I cancelled my dental appointment and rescheduled. I held off calling to cancel my eye exam on Thursday, hoping my back would feel better as the day went on.
The Satellite man arrived and did a lot. We got a new dish, new receiver, new remote controls and finally, after having an HD-TV for 2 years we had the service turned on.
The Installer was a nice man, who worked well, and got everything installed in record time. He showed us how to use all the buttons on the new remote (I sure hate to have to relearn things!) and how we will need to switch back and forth between cable and satellite settings on the TV.
The man also raises Labrador dogs for the handicapped. He was telling us that basically he and his wife have the dog for two years while they train them. Needless to say, he fell right in love with our Fritz! Fritz is the sweetest Shepherd known to man.
Once the upgrades were installed, all I could say is “OH MY GOSH”!!! It is amazing to see the picture so crisp and so “real”! Hubby and I watched the tennis, the Weather Channel and we were amazed how magnificent the picture quality was!
Toward the end of the day I was getting ready to call my eye doctor, when my cell phone rang. It was my eye doctor, canceling my appointment tomorrow. He has an emergency surgery and so they were calling to reschedule! I swear it was divine providence!
We managed easy meals from the freezer, and now I am watching the TV (happily), and in a bit I will go to bed and hope my back is better tomorrow!
Fingers Crossed!
Back ache is terrible. Since I do soft Yoga I have none anymore, but I suffered a lot in the past.
The TV with nice clear pictures we call “digital TV” we have no dish but had always cable TV (all houses in Belgium have it, even if you don’t use it. It comes with electrictiy and telephone cables. It just needed a special box and the TV pictures became wonderful ! Now we never watch “normal” TV !
Oh no, I had a sore back two weeks ago ans was off work for two days. It’s awful!
I am still not back to 100%, sitting at the desk at work is bad.
Hope you are better soon!
