I think I've totally screwed up my back this time
A week ago yesterday, I hurt my back. I thought I pulled a muscle real good (or bad, as the case may be).

It still hurts. Badly. :(

Every time I sit down for more than five minutes, it stiffens up so bad that I walk hunched over for several minutes until it loosens up. Hurts to pick up anything larger than a Vicodin. ~sigh~

It doesn't help that my job involves picking up cases of booze. :banghead:



Just needed to vent. And yes, I'm going to the doc but since it's the middle of the holidays, I can't get in until next week.

2. You'll have to come here to do it, dearie
I don't think I could handle a half-hour flight in those nasty seats, let alone however long it would take me to get to your neck of the woods. :hi:

How are YOU doing? Anything further in the Saga of the Grab Bar and Other Assorted Frustrations? :hug:

7. I still don't have the grab bars.
I have to wait until after the holidays to get in touch with contractors, but I've at least got some recommendations. My building finally gave me formal permission to have them installed.

The company that is supposedly getting my scooter for me can't seem to find an update, and nobody knows who's handling it. I'm getting a run-around.

I swear companies see a person with a disability and think they have a right to dick us around and waste our time.

10. Try this - it may work for you
Edited on Thu Dec-27-07 05:29 PM by Godlesscommieprevert
The Magic Four - Svaroopa yoga poses - very gentle but they do help with muscle spasms in the back. Do everything slowly and gently, don't push yourself too hard,

Link I posted doesn't work, google Magic four yoga poses
