I woke on Saturday morning, in pain. It’s as simple as that. I didn’t want to bother Hubby, so I got the dogs together and came out to the familyroom/kitchen. I turned on the coffee, and then walked each dackel, Fritz just goes off on his own, as he never strays far and let’s face it, with my bad back, he would pull me and kill me.
I dragged myself back in the house and after pouring myself some coffee, went back to my chair, heating pad, and putting my feet up with a pillow underneath my knees.
I turned on the TV (something I do a lot now with the HD TV) and the first Harry Potter movie was just starting. The first movie and the last movie are my favorites of the Harry Potter Movie Series. I was watching this when Hubby got up and together we watched young Harry Potter learn to be a Wizard! (In HD! How great is that?)
I tried to stretch when I got up, and use heat when I could. I have done no heavy lifting, and I have not strained my back today. Yet somehow, it is worse. Should it not resolve by Tuesday (after the Labor Day holiday) I will call my doctor. Until then I will take anti-inflammatories and hope for the best.
I managed to make lunch, and then plan an easy dinner for us, as Hubby has been working picking Concord Grapes. I am hoping to have many grapes to make jelly with, as I am, quite literally, down to my last jar!
So I have my fingers crossed that by tomorrow my back will have magically gotten better and I will be able to do what needs to be done with the grapes. Then Monday would be canning day! At least Hubby is really good at helping me with that.
I’m so sorry your in so much pain 🙁 DO hope you can feel a little better and endure until Tues. Take it easy!!
I had hoped your back was doing much better. So sorry as I know how uncomfortable it is to have your back hurting so much. Have you tried ice instead of the heat? Try and move a little bit to keep it from getting tighter. I am saying a prayer that it eases up today for you, fingers crossed. Love YOU, Mel
I think there is nothing else to do as what you do already and if it doesn’t get better ask the doctor, there must be something wrong. Mr. G. suffers back ache all the time, but he is rusty he doesn’t move enough. From Computer to TV is not a long walk !
ooh, I’d love to see Harry Potter like that!
