I was supposed to be out fiddling with some folk today, but have decided to stay home and spend some quality time with some visiting back spasms instead. I can't point to doing anything to have cause the spasms; they just seem to want to drop in on me unannounced about twice a year — much to my consternation. Sometimes, said spasms are relatively mild and only
hang about for a few days. Let's hope this is one of those mercifully short and not-too-painful times.
So, with Cuppa having forsaken this invalid to go shopping with daughter and grand, I spent some
quality time reading on the floor with a heating pad on my back before tracking down two small bags of chips left over from Halloween to comfort me in my infirm loneliness. And now I have decided to visit yall, which doesn't do too much good on a weekend which are slack times for bloggers.
Below are more pictures from yesterday's visit to Burnstown. They were all (both posts) taken with Cuppa's little, portable point-and-shoot as opposed to my blunderbuss. I seems to have a love-hate relationship with both cameras.I like mine for quality and hers for portability ... but the reverse also applies — mine is clunky and hers doesn't produce the same quality.
Nevertheless, I was quite happy with yesterday's results.
I like the photos very much. Perhaps you should go for some craniosacral therapy.;-) This physiotherapist does Pilates and sits on a big balance ball when back spasms strike. (But I did go for craniosacral therapy once.)Hope you are up and running soon.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the bottom picture! It reminds me of a movie I saw once called Fried Green Tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteA good massage would probably take care of your back spasms. Ugh! It sounds horribly painful!
Feel better soon!
I remember back spasms. I used to get them a lot before I discovered I had a stress fracture in my lower back due to one leg shorter than the other. They only come back when I lift things badly or neglect to wear my orthopaedic shoes, remaking the stress fracture.
ReplyDeleteThe pain does let you know you are alive! Time to rest a while.
You and I are in the same boat, my friend! I have been having back spasms for the past two days, although thank the stars I haven't been laid out flat. I can move carefully around. This time, though, the heating pad and laying with my knees propped up on pillows made it much worse. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteI do feel for you with the back spasms - mine ended with surgery last December 29th. Still have twinges when I get tired or from overuse but not from the same spot. Enjoyed the photos. ec
ReplyDeleteI love how the deep blue sky is such a great backdrop for the fall colours. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteHope you back is better. It is not much fun being house bound when others are out and about.
