BACK in the Swing of Things

My back feels so much better today! You have no idea how human I feel again, but I will still take it easy and keep my chiropractor appointments. By chance last night, my hubs and I happened to watch the movie, “Sunshine”, a historical drama by our Florida neighbor, Israel Horovitz. He did the screenplay. This morning I called them and invited them for a quick breakfast. We served bagels, eggs, a fresh fruit salad, coffee, and tea for his wife, Gillian, who is English. Fortunately, we had plenty of food on hand. They left for New York City immediately afterwards, but invited us to get together with them in New York this summer. As you can see by my photo, it’s a beautiful Memorial Day here. Later I will attend a pool party and barbecue for a bit, if my back is feeling as good as it does right now.

Oh I'm so glad to hear that . . . it makes a huge difference to not be in pain anymore. Yes, do baby it still until it is solidly better. But how wonderful you can be out and about again . . . she's baaaaaaack ! Enjoy the party later. No party for us, but we may or may not bbq here . . . in any case we will definitely have loads of food today!

@DianneN Well, it's a start . . . just take it easy today. Don't be doing cartwheels and such . Being able to stand upright is everything - we often do take that for granted! Today it is sunny for us too (it had been gray most of the weekend) . . . enjoy your beautiful day too !

My neck still aches, but who cares? I can stand upright like a human again. . Food is what life is about. Enjoy your day with the kids home!

@much2say I sure will take it easy from now on until........No cartwheels, golf, tennis, or anything except walking for a while. I’m signing up for yoga classes the minute I get to our “vacation” home per chiropractor orders. I’m glad you finally have a sunny day. I didn’t realize you get gray days where you are unless it rains. You still have the best weather in the entire USA!

Thank you! I’m still icing, heating, and doing my exercises. I’m afraid it might return. I think you had your summer during the winter with all those mild days. That bad weather will end soon. Promise!

@DianneN We all knew that a warm winter is not at all good, better more snow in winter, but a nice Spring. The next week will be horrible.

@cacay1 No, rain is not always present in Switzerland, usually May is a dry month, we usually have a a bit of rain during the night, same for June, July and August.

@DianneN This is great. Did you have to take meds? Or did you try physical exercises?

So glad to hear your back is better, and even happier to hear that you will continue to keep your chiropractor appointments. Our poor backs are nothing to take lightly! I hope you had a fun day at the pool party and BBQ. I pretty much laid around the house all day recovering from jet lag.

This is wonderful news, Dianne! I'm so glad that pain in your lower back has let up:) A Chiropractor did my son a lot of good, as one has done for you, also. We haven't seen Sunshine, it sounds like a very good movie. Breakfast guests? Hey, we use to do that years back. I miss having Dennis or Paul stop by, to share a pancake or two! lol It's kinda chilly here, maybe 65 degrees F. We will go to the cemetery later on, to view Mom, Dad, both my grandmas, and a few other grave sites. Jay loved these people, as much as I did! Have fun at the pool&BQ today

Thank you! So do I. I’m icing it right this minute and being extra cautious. A raft would be wonderful, but the current is too strong for that. That’s why I’m afraid to kayak although lots of people do. I’m not strong enough.
