Do any of you have dogs like this? I swear Roscoe is a stalker. If I start to chew something he comes out of hiding to stare at me as he rarely gets fed...,.
My back is killing me. I laid on a heating pad most of the day yesterday. I would get up and take care of clients, and I cut out 4 or 5 aprons and did some organizing in the shop, but most of the day was trying to get my back to quit zinging.
Today the pain is mostly real stiffness, not sharp. But what a nuisance. I really do have to sew today. I will in spite of my back.
It looks like our trip to Slugs might be back on? We are up in the air here. She is having a new kind of knee replacement that is less invasive. So, her recovery time will be less. Major confusion here at this point, but we will figure it out. It doesn't take much for us to get confused.
We are supposed to have frost in the next few days, so I do need to get plants into the green house. Don't know how I am going to do that with my back. But maybe just do a few at a time. I do have two lime trees that need to be fertilized, and soil added. One has limes on it. These need to come into the house for the winter. Luckily that are on rollers. All the geraniums must be dug up and repotted into containers. I will also save a few other annuals and my spikes. Anything that might winter over in a green house and see what I can save and not have to buy next year. Just talking about this makes my back hurt.
Okay I am going to start with sewing patches on three sets of nursing scrubs and then hem and press a bridesmaid dress before I start on a wedding dress. I also have a small repair on another dress I will get done today.
I have taken Aleve and will muscle on. EVEN THOUGHT THE MUSCLES IN THE LOWER BACK ARE OFF.
This whole house needs to be dusted. I just wrote my name on the top of the piano.
Can't forget sometime late this afternoon to go get blood work done and also go to the pharmacy as I am out of one of my meds.
There that is Kim's day.
I can do this.
God is good
Kim
That is wonderful about Sluggy having a lesser invasive knee replacement! I hope you do get to have a trip to see her. I hope your back gets to feeling better soon. It’s hard to do much when your back hurts like that and I know you have things to do. Take good care of yourself, Kim.
ReplyDeleteIt is off and on all day.
DeleteWhen I get a really sore lower back Kim, I try sitting with a hot wheatbag shoved down into the small of my back with my back pressed against the back of the chair. You can do this in your sewing chair maybe. Do you have wheatbags over there - you may call them heatpacks?? I do hope it gets better soon for you Kim. xx
ReplyDeleteI have a heating pad I lay on.
DeleteNo dog - but a cat that follows me everywhere. I hope your back feels better soon. Do you have a heat pad? If so, give it a try or a super-hot shower.
ReplyDeleteI have a hot pad and it is my best freind.
DeleteI had a cat that would follow me all over the place, unless Harvey was home and then she would follow him all over the place. Hope your back feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It is being watched while I go to the bathroom.
DeleteHave you ever heard of grounding mats? I have a small one to sit with my feet on as the mat is on the floor. It seems this is legitimate. Maybe it could help. Or, go barefoot outside with feet on ground.
ReplyDeleteCutting out things hurt my back the most of all other sewing chores.
ME too! Cutting out is the worst.
DeleteHope you're feeling better soon. We use Real Time pain relief cream and it is magical. A little goes a very long way, plus no smell and all natural.
ReplyDeleteI just need to rest it.
DeleteOh, I'm so sorry. I'm actually trying to stop taking Advil/Aleve, as my doctor has reminded me that I can't take it daily. It really helps with the ongoing back pain. It's day 3, and it's not terrible, but can definitely feel it. Hope you get some relief! - Hawaii Planner
ReplyDeleteI don't take a lot of painkillers, surprising, but the autoimmune suppressants do enough damage.
DeleteI am sorry about your back. I hope it gets better soon. I am totally jealous of your lime tree too. I hope to get started on some sort of garden going after Thanksgiving in Nnovember, Florida growing season.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it produces and sometimes it refuses. But it is fun!
