Oh, what a disgrace I am.........the path behind me is strewn with broken promises. I had every intention of writing cheerful little entries every few days but I don't know quite what happened except that I haven't done that atall, atall. So sorry....... 2000 apologies interspersed with a few shitpissfucks.
Well,, I will get right to it........I am happy to report that my back problem is much improved and I can sleep without pain. I can also sit on the hard chair at my computer without pain. Other stuff still hurts but there is no doubt the situation is much better than it was. Trouble is, I have to be very careful with each move and that is a bummer. My patience with this is all used up and I still have not come up with a plan. Well, I sort of have a plan which consists of executing a series of yoga stretches several times a day and that does seem to be helping so I am leaning toward booking a physical therapist with yoga training as my next step. Meanwhile, my mood is dark and dour and I am no fun anymore.
I must admit that I did get a few giggles out of one of the yoga poses which left me amazed as hell that I was able to contort myself into it. It really helped the sciatica. It goes something like this.
Sit on the floor with legs crossed in front of you. Arrange the right leg bent at 90 degree angle in front of your body. Hoist the bod up onto left knee just enough to slide the left leg straight back and stretch it out straight behind you.. At this point the right leg is under your abdomen/ groin, the left leg is stretched out behind, you are leaning on straigtened arms with head held high. Now, if you can, stretch arms forward, bring torso forward and rest torso and arms on floor in front of you.
Of course, the only thing left to do now is have someone sprinkle you lightly with kosher salt and bake till lightly browned all over. (Spread with mustard and eat while still warm).
So that is what I have been up to lately........how about you?
