I'll be back...
It's hard to sit at my desk while my back is acting up. So I'll just show you a picture of the Château de Saint-Aignan and be on my way.

Hang in there Walt I know what you're going through. Be sure to drink plenty of water with your ibuprofen....helps the kidneys.

Walt,
ReplyDeleteHaving just started to recover from a back problem, I have empathy for you. After 2 days in bed I was so bored (and sore).
Mine is due to a collapsed disc some years ago but I also get muscle fatigue and discovered it was my cholesterol medication. Don't just love old age?
Hope you recover soon.
Leon and Sue
Wise decision! I wish you all the best! Martine
ReplyDeleteI hope you get it straightened out (no pun intended).

Speaking from experience, rest will help a lot but you need to be able to sleep properly. Don't be too afraid of painkillers - as a short-term aid they are very useful and if they help you to rest or sleep so you can get over the acute phase they are worth taking. A physiotherapist once told me that pain causes anxiety and muscle spasm which causes more pain so "breaking the pain cycle" is important.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are going to the doctor. I hope you are feeling better soon. Remember that time is a great healer. Sois sage.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are seeing a doc. Feel better.
ReplyDeletefeel better soon....rest should help (and drugs)
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteOur house has high ceilings and when we painted inside a couple years ago, I used a roller and ladder, so I was looking up all the time (and probably arching my back as well). This really did a number on my lower back muscles.
After that I used a roller extension - a long piece of wood that goes into the roller handle. Much easier. I guessing that, as organized a you two are, you used an extension while painting.
Get well soon...
Think about how Michelangelo's back felt! I'm sorry for your pain. Hope you can take it easy for a while until you're better.
ReplyDeleteRest up Mr WCS. Kick back with a plate of cheese and a glass of vino and get Ken to do all the painting!
ReplyDeleteThanks to all of you! I appreciate your comments and suggestions. I'm sorry I can't address each one individually, but I'm cutting down my time in front of the computer for a while to help my neck heal. :)
