Broken back

Yes, I messed my back up again. And it hurts. A lot.

Last Sunday I cleaned the house. I vacuumed (even under the bed!), and dusted and polished and waxed what needed waxing. And washed the bathrooms. And started hurting my back. But I did not feel it so bad at the time.

On Monday it got a bit worse.

Yesterday I went to work and must have done something that messed it up real good.

Thank goodness I have an appointment for tomorrow with the Chiropractor. That, if we manage to go out. It has been snowing since sometime last night. Without stopping.

That should explain my absence and my late comments on the blogs I love so much. Please forgive me. An old broken broad is no fun to be around anyway.

On a sweeter note, I want to thank everyone that voted for Taffy. Unfortunately, she did not win. But it was all very fun and interesting. The puppies that won are also sweet and well, they all deserved it, right?


Talk about a cross eyed toad?...


Thank you so much! I am now going to lay down on a heat pad to see if this pain goes away.

Love ya!

Is that a picture of you, Miriam? If so, you are as cute as a bug -- in a good way, of course. :)

So, so sorry about your back. I have those problems when I overdo -- it's no fun at all.

Get well soon!

Sorry you have overdone it! I hope the chiro can help your brokenness! Getting old and achy is just no fun. I get creakier and creakier every day...

Backaches are a pain (in the ...) I hope you have a good chiropractor and he can get you straightened up real quick - that is - if you can get out! The snow hasn't started here yet, am not happy about it or the cold temps!

Take care of yourself and your back!

oh poor you....I totally HATE vacuming under the bed ! I've given up going to the chiropractor as I now feel it may weaken my back ( but the quick fix is great ) & live with neck pain ( a pain in the neck - yes...I live with it ! )
Hope you feel better soon x

Hope you get better soon and take it easy.

Hi Miriam, so sorry you've got such a painful back - I did mine last year just changing the covers on the furniture, so I have some idea of the agony you're in. I hope you can get yourself to the chiropractor to get sorted out.

Your photo made me smile - the hat's almost bigger than you!

Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog - how could I possibly take offense at such sweet praise?! In answer to your question,most of my collages are done in a little book. Sometimes the ones I do on postcards stay out for a while propped up on a shelf but then they are tucked away in a storage box. You're right, a really big one framed would be amazing!

And you are not stupid!

Love ya,

ps shame little Taffy didn't win but there were so many sweet dogs taking part. Hopefully her Mum will be happy she got voted for by so many people.

Sore backs are so rotten - they get in the way of everything. Have you tried ice? My chiropractor and massage therapist both tell me to ice my back when I've hurt it, or overworked myself. Heat might make it feel better at the time, but it could be making the problem worse.

On the other hand, what do I know?! A stiff drink - now that's the ticket!
