I am with you re: no surgery!
I have pain almost constantly. Herniation, artiritis of spine & the stenosis of spinal column are all improved when I am proactive.
Have found the Inversion table a reasonable & helpful apparatus. You can try them free & frequently at many places before you decide to buy. My chiropractor helps & some meds do too (OTC & natural supplements). Many people have had good results with acupressure & acupuncture. I have not tried those yet as they seem to be a cover up mechanism rather than symptom correction but want to look more into it.
Every morning when I wake up Josy (German shep) has her babies, stuffies, chewies etc all over me. She is the one into stick also. Toby isn’t a herder & so does not do this.
well, need to get them out for another walk before sleepy time.. we have been hammered big time with snow.. above my knees in driveway. I THINK they plowed again this PM.. first time I noted it was around 4 PM.. but heavy snow all evening since then.
I was just checking out FR once more before I go to sleep. I'm glad to see you tonight, Amy, so I could say good night. :-)
Here is a nice song for you by Etta James, At Last.
Good to see you pretty lady! are you still teaching in the remote location? People in NY have been hammered this year with snow as you probably know.
No, I'm in a closer location but still teaching both languages, and having a full time job doesn't leave me much free time, but I get to do quite a few things. I even have software that records Rush, Hannity and Levin so when I come back from work I am able to listen to their shows while grading papers and working on my classes for next day. I can skip commercials too, so a 3 hour show is closer to 1 hour and 45 minutes. Then of course in the evenings I join FR as I did before.
The good thing about recording these shows is if I need a clip, I can clip it and use it as I please. It works out very well. I enjoy listening to these guys.
And I still manage to workout and play tennis on weekends and whenever I have the chance, LOL, I'm always doing something.
Hope you are doing well also, Dolly. Of course you always look great! You both look great!
I love your graphics as well.
Nighty night everyone!
There is one at my Husband's Workplace that I Use Sometimes, and it Does Help. We have Very Similar Back Conditions; I have Arthritis and Spinal Stenosis, and did have 3 Herniated Discs with More than One Herniation on One of the 3, until the Surgeon Repaired 2 Discs when I Underwent a Microdiscectomy in '06. Now I have One Remaining Herniation that he didn't deal with at that Time. A Car Wreck is what originally Tore my Back Up, and it Tore my Neck Up with it, Causing Arthritis in it.
Hugs, Dear Dolly! I'm Sorry you have Daily Back Pain; I Know what it's Like, and my Heart is with you. Thanks be to our Lord that, in Eternity, these Unpleasant Sufferings we Know Now will be a Thing of the Past.
Goodnight, Victoria. Sleep Well, and God Bless.
Nite, Victoria. Sweet Dreams.
Yes, I am proud of Marissa. BUT ...
She told me she got in trouble and had to go to the office today. According to her, she was playing a silly game in the restroom and spashing water. (On the mirror and on the floor). She had to clean the mirror and the water off the floor. I told her that that seemed fair since she was the one that made the mess that she needed to clean it up.
She volunteered the info ... she said she didn’t feel right not telling me. I emphasized that she should always tell me and I would be there for her if she needed me.
See you tomorrow.

Enjoy the day!
