Happy Monday Everyone! Sunny and warm here this morning with another heat wave coming mid week.
A few days ago I overreacted and pulled a muscle in my back right by my chicken wing. The pain was horrible and I almost thought I was going to have to go to the hospital.
The pain has subsided but still not back to my Happy self.
Three nights I slept in my recliner and 3 days alternating ice and heat.
Last night was the first night I was able to go upstairs and sleep in my bed. Still a bit uncomfortable but at least i managed.
Thank goodness I have my daughter to help and she's been wonderful.
She's working today but she made sure I had my coffee and a backup thermos to get me through the morning.

That's horrible. How do you think you pulled it?

I was overreaching for something instead of getting up and being closer. Stupid on my part

Happy Monday Marilyn
Sunny and warm here this morning with another heat wave coming mid week.
Same here, just watched the news and saw the weather forecast
Pulling a muscle where you did must be sore.
Hope it fully recovers soon
As long as you have coffee.....

I'm doing okay and will survive and at least I can still pick up my cup of coffee and enjoy it.

That's good.
I cannot imagine not being able to do that
Which reminds me of a funny story I will post about in the near future

I'm glad you're feeling much better now! 
I was gone over the weekend while my eyes were swollen closed again. Pretty kept checking to see if I needed anything to eat or drink. Then we both got sick so I kept asking her if she needed anything until she closed her bedroom door so I'd leave her alone. 
I could get to the kitchen and bathroom by myself but couldn't see well enough to work the microwave for hot foods. I just ate cold sandwiches until I could see again
The forecast here is showing possible storms starting Tuesday through Friday.

@Marilynda1225 My swollen eyes are caused by hyperthyroidism. It took years for doctors to diagnose it and start me on meds for it. My eyes were damaged while they dithered about making the diagnosis. They will never get better. Pretty always asks if my eyes would feel better if she just poked them out... I've told her to go ahead several times but she has too much "fun" laughing when I walk into the walls and doors. 
We'll see a couple of 90F days this week. Right now it is 84F and, if we didn't have so much pollen in the air, I'd go outside to enjoy the nice weather.

both of you being sick at the same time is a bummer. I am still so bewildered by your eyes and that you have to deal with such a problem. It must be horrible.
Yup, looks like a heat wave coming for us too and they always seem to be accompanied by storms.

It's getting better and I'm sure in a few more days I'll be back to my "old" self.

I really missed my bed the last few days and it was soooo nice to just sleep in my bed last night.

It was really painful but it's healing now. I'm being very careful not to overdo it and basically just relaxing. Thank goodness I have a pile of books to read.
