Every now and then my back goes into complete spasm, and there is absolutely nothing I can do to stop the pain, except take some very strong tablets and try to relax! For someone who is as manic as I am it is a very hard thing to do. Fortunately I have been reading a wonderful book, by Jodi Picoult called Second Glance. I have actually enjoyed the peace and quiet of reading with no-one else to disturb me, it is simply wonderful, were it not for the sheer pain every time I try to move!
I must admit I did feel rather sorry for myself today, just a little need of some pampering! So I went out and bought the most delicious friut – strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. I feel sometimes it is important to treat the body like a temple, Nigella calls it “temple food”. Fortunately I went to see a specialist this evening who very gently, massaged my muscles and encouraged them to relax. Hopefully I will be back to normal tomorrow.
Reasons to be grateful
It is going to get better, thank goodness. Some people have to deal with this pain all the time.
the Sun was shining and all the plants are starting to come to life, the lilly is even in flower!
I am loved, and surrounded by a loving family, what more could one want?
