Good Morning Wednesday Birds

[Smowball]

You'll have to bear with me this morn - my spinal pain (from my accident) has been getting worse and worse for the past 3 days, was the worst it's been for months lastnight, and now this morn I can barely move. Have spent the past 2 hours in tears trying to figure out how on earth I'm going to manage today.

But hey ho, it could be worse. MrSmow is working from home, not that he even quite realises the pain I'm in the morn as I haven't told him.... (what's the point when he can't do a thing). So I'm dosed  up, and hoping to god that it somehow eases a tad over the nxt few hours, and I will probably be on here (AB) to distract myself.

Hope you are all ok xx

Oh Smow i am so sorry you are having a rough time lately.  I do hope your medication kicks in soon  xx

[Canary42]

Ouch! That sounds awful Smow. I too hope your medication does the job as so as possible. 

[Canary42]

*soon

[Smowball]

Thanku Rosie, I appreciate that. Pains a very hard thing to say to someone - when they say are you ok and you say no not really, they then don't know what to say lol. So you just tend to say ur ok..... xx

Morning all.  I agree with you there, smow.  People ask how you are but most of them don't really want to know so regardless of anything that might be wrong, I tend to say 'I'm ok thanks'.  You should tell your husband though - at the very least he can give you a helping hand around the house.

Oh Smow, that sounds awful. You have had a rough time of it recently, haven't you. I agree with Naomi that you should tell your husband so he give you a hand. I hope the medication gives you some relief soon. Take care xx

Morning all, sorry to see you are in pain, Smow.  Could the weather have an effect?  Rest as much as you can.

Thanks guys,  can always rely on you to try and cheer me up.  Have been trying to read online about this impending hurricane Milton- looks horrific if it does  indeed strike where they say it will.

Morning all. Sorry you are in so much pain Smow. Have you tried a Tens machine? My partner found it eased his pain for both his back and shoulder. They are not phenomally expensive and they do not involve medication.Perhaps someone on here who has experience of one could give you some advice. I think we purchased it from Amazon.

Sending you a gentle and warm hug Smow. I agree with Naomi, you should let Mr Smow know...a brave face will get you nowhere. 

[Smowball]

Thanks guys - yes Ive told him now. Not that he is a man of sympathy or words lol, but he knows. 
Have never used a tens machine but have read about them, may look into it today x
