Do as I say, not as I do!!!!!

Friday, November 20, 2009

What a dumb thing I did yesterday. While starting to get things together for our trip to AZ, I decided to clean up the storage area. I moved 2 heavy boxes of dishes to another area in the storage closet. YES, I know....I should have known better, I should have called DH to help me, but did I???? NOOOO!!!!!!!

Anyway, last night when I got up from bed for my usual 2a.m. sojourn to the bathroom, I nearly passed out form the pain in my back. Upon standing up from the bed, the back pain was so excruciating it sent me to my knees. I barely made it to the bathroom. Then I decided I didn’t want to get up from our bed again, so sat in my recliner the rest of the night with a heat pack. Finally fell asleep. Today I am paying dearly for that dumb mistake.

SO do as I say, NOT AS I DO….for those with bad backs remember DON’T DO DUMB THINGS like that……………..Today I’m stretching, icing and playing it “slow and easy”.

DH even said he’s taking me out to dinner tonight so I don’t have to cook…wasn’t that so sweet of him???? Ahhh, but just a minute before you say yes…. His favorite place on Fridays is for a fish fry……….. Oh well, I can eat lots of salad 1st accompanied by tall glasses of water.

Hope the rest of you are having a mighty fine day.

    I'm not sure that was the best way to get out of cooking dinner...

    Oh, LouAnne, I hope you are doing better now!!!!!!! I'm slowly improving and I do believe the Sketcher Shape up work shoes are a huge help plus I will never stop doing the stretches and yoga!!!

Blessings,

    I occasionally do the same "dumb" thing! And, like you, I pay for it! I'm so sorry because I know how back pain is worse when you're traveling. When do you leave for AZ, and will you fly or drive? My son and his family that live in Tucson are flying in on Wednesday to stay over Thanksgiving.
Be blessed, my friend!
Love,
Lee

    How unfortunate! LOL all too often though we give better advice to others than the advice we give to ourselves

I hope that you have a quick recovery

    I have heard it before........ For some reason we do things like that..... I am the same way.... and I still try to do things without waiting for help....... and Oh boy I have suffered for it....... Like you are now..... Yes we must remember to take things easy...... and ask for help...... and if the help is not there right then........ then we should be waiting..... here I am telling you to wait...... and I do the same thing........ lol........ live and learn...... I hope your back feels better soon....... emoticon

    Now what are we going to do with you! You just got over the eye thing, and now look what you have gone and done! emoticon am I going to have to come over there and straighten you out? seriously, I do hope your back will get better soon. I have a bad back, too, and know what you are going through. It is good to hear that you obviously know what treatments are necessary to get back in shape! I will say get well prayers for you! Your friend, Sandy
