Just popping in to say I won’t be round much this weekend and possibly into next week – I have put my lower back out and sitting for any length of time is very painful. I have purchased a chair designed to help with that but you have to break it in gradually so it doesn’t solve the problem immediately.
Consequently being on the computer is a bit hard for any extended period of time. So although poems will still post that I’ve scheduled I probably can’t keep up with my Reader or the blogs I regularly follow till the back is better. I’ll try to log in briefly each day to respond to those who comment on my writing etc but beyond that I need to let the back settle. 😦
I’m sorry I’ll miss all your great work in the meantime, and please don’t think I’m neglecting you all, but I’ll be back with renewed vigour and enthusiasm once the back pain is relieved! Wish me luck in a speedy recovery! 🙂
Helen
Feel better. You have my deepest sympathies on the lower back issues.
Thanks Charles!! 🙂
😦
Exactly!!
😦 I am sorry you are having back pain. Sending you (hugs) and wishes for a speedy recovery!
Thank you! 🙂
Oh dear. I hope you get better quickly. Back pain is some of the worst.
It certainly is! I’m getting a massage today so hopefully that will help a bit! Thanks for your kind words! 🙂

Thank you so much!! 🙂 🙂

Thanks Ionia!! 🙂 🙂
Here’s to hoping that your back gets better real soon. Have you tried a Chiropractor? 🙂
I sometimes go to osteopaths..I find lower back usually is better left to fix itself, possibly with massage, and a friend gave me a chinese massage yesterday. But if it keeps recurring I may need to go to the osteo or even get an xray..will see..I’m hopeful as its a bit better today that its on the mend, but I’m not casually optimistic yet! 🙂
Good luck in a speedy recovery!
Thanks Brian!! 🙂 🙂
Feel better soon woman!
Thank you!!! 🙂 🙂
I hope you get to feeling better really soon Helen! *hugs*

I am so sorry to hear about your back.. I truly hope you feel better soon. You will be missed while you are recovering. xo
Thank you – as I said I’m trying to pop in once a day to respond to comments but won’t be able to do much more till its better. Still I’m hopeful, on the basis of how it is today compared to yesterday, that I’m on the mend and will soon be back to normal interacting!! 🙂 🙂
Oh no! Not good. Take care and rest up
Thanks – I am (resting up I mean)!! 🙂 🙂

Very true – I’ve just bought a saddle chair to help with posture as a back pain relieving and preventive measure and I’m thinking of one of those sit/stand desks too…they say it’s much better for you, and adding in Ernest’s ‘medicinal beverages’ wouldn’t be bad either, LOL! 🙂
Sweet Sis, I wish you a speedy recovery!! I so wish I was around the block to come and help you out. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers each day. Big hugs…much love….Skye
Thanks Skye, that’s so kind!! 🙂 🙂 xxx
Aww Helen. I wish you the best on a speed recovery!
Thank you!! 🙂 🙂
Awww Helen I hope you will feel better soon! Perhaps pampering is in order? A nice massage? (hugs) get well I will miss you!
A friend came and gave me a chinese massage yesterday that hat helped a lot, but I’m being careful not to undo the good today, so I’m being careful. 🙂

take care
and
heal quickly

peace
Thank you!! 🙂 🙂
OHHH GET WELL REALLY, REALLY QUICKLY Helen 🙂
Thank you, I’m trying! Unfortunately it means I have to limit time on line, or anything that requires sitting for any lengthy period. 😦 Still, it is a bit better today than yesterday, so hopefully I’m on the mend! 🙂
Feel better. I have experienced back pain hell – 2 herniated disks. Please take care – 😉 I am sending some relief vibes your way – mmmmmmmmmmmmmm……..
Thank you!!! 🙂 🙂
Feel better, Helen! Healing vibes coming your way. xx
Thanks Noora! I think they’re helping as its slowly getting better, but I’m only going to be briefly on line again today so I can have it continue to heal! 🙂
Get better soon, girl! Back pain is for the birds!
Trying to – is a bit better today, though not fixed, and I am being very careful to make sure it doesn’t come back in full force. 🙂
Thankfully, my back is still strong. Knees? Not so much, but I’ve never been much of a runner. Cycling doesn’t bother my knees… (yet)…
Here’s hoping cycling helps both rather than hinders either! 🙂
Very true. LOL
I hope recover soon,Helen! Take care of yourself.
Thanks so much Lynn! 🙂 🙂
Speedy recovery indeed! Been there with the back, so DO pay attention and take care of yourself. Sending prayers your way…
Len
Thanks so much Len…it’s getting better but still not there so being careful… 🙂
Hope you are feeling better-ly! 🙂
On the mend I think…much better than a couple of days ago, but still taking it easy as the baseline pain is still there…fingers crossed that will ease off finally today! 🙂
