Hi Everyone!
justmejust posted:
Halloween is midweek and I am so busy with school and being a mom for my wonderful teens the rest of the time. Accompanied 17 year old Jim to fabric shop, he is making a bishops type costume for party at a friends house as someone from Spanish Inquisition a la Monty Python. And drove Susan to the HS girls tennis team bonfire party at one of the girl's houses. Got her an apple pie from Tippins at the grocery store for her to take. It's what she wanted and I was too busy today to make home made, which I love.
This morning Mike joined me at my primary care appointment regarding my back and right leg and foot pain, have had a little bit of improvement over the 10 weeks of pain. The pain is still 24/7, but not at a steady 8-10/10 pain level as the first several weeks. It may be down a notch or two. And I continue my back exercises. My goal is to play tennis and ride bikes again
Glad Marybeth will be in the States again for a while, and that everyone is still here and chatting! Now to go pick up Susan from her party!
Best wishes to all.

Hi Laura, Happy preHalloween.
Sounds like your kids are keeping you busy this season and on top of your continuing education you have all of this pain , I'm so sorry . Wish there were something we could do or suggest with that other than for you to take it easy.
With all this on your plate, you still seem in good spirits. Keep the happy thoughts, ok?

Thank you Kim, Barb, and Judy. For sure I am resting, especially on my back on the floor or bench with my knees bent whenever my back hurts too much from school or running errands or doing chores at home.
Love to all!

Hi Helene,
Thanks for the support. I see the chiropractor in a couple weeks. Perhaps she can help me with the back, foot, and leg nerve pain.
I remember you mentioned back pain in the past too.

Thank you Debbie and Amber. Judy, thanks for the info. I was doing it and have increased it to 20 minutes like you say.
Back is better. Will keep going one day at a time.
Thinking of taking next semester off - too much work, and money!
My scale reads 200 lb today. Judy, you'll be glad to hear that I am cutting out sugar for 2 weeks. Then will go from there. Hasn't been difficult so far.
Cheers!
