Just wanted to let everyone know I will be out of commission for a bit. I injuried my back and I'm in pain. I'm doing ok otherwise. T is still on vacation and I lost count of when she comes back. I'm just trying to figure how I'm going to work with a sore back. I'll keep in touch and will be back soon. Everyone please take care of yourselves and stay safe.

Back injuries hurt like the devil! Take care of yourself so to get well.

I would also suggest (YMMV) elevate your legs and/or bend your knees. Also at times to elevate your head and upper back slightly. This takes the pressure off your back. Sort of a V- \__/ position but not as steep as shown but more like a 45 degree angle or less with you legs bent at the knees and then going out straight from there. I have Chronic Back Pain and I use this all the time (major messed up back). Or just play around with the position till you find your comfort zone.


Hope this helps if you try it.
Hi Friends,

I tried to go back to work after the injury to my back. I think I pushed it a little to far and now I have to have surgery. I just wanted to keep everyone updated. I will be absent again while I recover.
I saw T last week and it was kind of awkward because I haven't seen her in awhile (she was on vacation. I'm doing ok otherwise. Everyone please take care and I will try and pop in when I can.

much love,

I am so sorry to hear about the set back with your back. We haven't oficially met since i have been posting, (hello Smiler) but you must be so disappointed at what has happened.

I have a few friends who have had back and / or neck ops and they have all been fantastic for them and i hope yours solves the problem, takes the pain away and gives you a new lease on life.
Pan
