COLD DARK ROOM

I'm the same way. If I won the lottery I'd just but a zoo and move in lol

Me too. Lol

Oh no. That would have set you back and probably undo all the good work the osteopath has done. Besides now you have the house to yourself. You could go have a nice long and hot bath. Sigh I so miss that. The long nice and warm showers and or baths always helped me with some of my pain issues. Now that has all been taken away.[emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]

It's just as well we have no water restrictions right now. I think JoesDad might be raising an eyebrow at the next water bill though. I am soaking regularly.

Just to let you know I went to see the osteopath today and she asked alot of questions and did some treatment. She said there is definitly some blockage as my reflexs are not what they should be. But she does not think it is the disc but rather the muscles around it. Particularly the piriformis muscle. I also seem to clench my jaw which has contributed to my latest neck problem. She said that my lower back has a slightly deeper curve which makes my back muscles strain more as they feel as if I am bending backwards all day. My neck has a deeper curve forward which makes the muscles feel like I am looking up all day. She said that she needs to see me at least another 3 times to loosen up but I will have to do maintenance all the time especially because of the work that I do. I think the cheek massage was actually the most painful one. And I have homework with a roller and a tennis ball for the glutes and between my shoulder blades. Thank you very much for recommending going to an osteopath. I think it is the right way to go.

It sounds like your osteopath is doing as I expected and looking at all of you. I really hope it helps! I didn't mention the pain did I? My physio/osteo has the absolute knack of literally putting her finger on the most painful part of me. Sometimes I don't know that hurts until she pokes it! My son, who has also had treatment with her, swears she's probably a witch as he can't explain how she actually knows!

Me too. Lol

Not me. I'm totally happy with what I have now. If I were to luck out with the lottery, I'd just hire someone to be my groundskeeper and have better fences put up.

So you have the added advantage of what you learned at the vet. I bet it comes in really handy.

Yeah it does, but I also learned alot growing up on a farm with a variety of different animals.

I think it is so important to bring children up with animals for that very reason.

Totally agree. [emoji1]
Ya know, if I made a list of all the critters that I would like to have, I bet my hubby would have a panic attack[emoji33]

Lol. Sounds about right. I didn't even know that my cheeks were so sore. I Also have to do the cheek release as part of my homework. Very sore. Who knew that cheeks could be so sore. I have never thought of them as being a muscle. I now know differently.[emoji23][emoji23]

Whahaha. But you already have the farm / rescue centre. I would probably need a groundskeeper too. For the heavy work.

 

[CarolM]

Harry and Meghan I presume!

Next month. No idea what date

Oh right. Prince Harry isn't married yet.

 

[Yvonne G]

Oh right. Prince Harry isn't married yet.

Ah yes, but she IS marrying her co-star on TV next week. Wonder how Queenie feels about that?

 

[CarolM]

Totally agree. [emoji1]

Hmmmm. Thats right. Is she the one in the series 'suits' ?

 

[CarolM]

Ah yes, but she IS marrying her co-star on TV next week. Wonder how Queenie feels about that?

Was going to say wonder what the Queen thinks about her being an actress but hubby says that she has to give it up because of the royal responsibilities she is going to have from now on.

 

[CarolM]

Well that is me for today. Good night sleep tight and sweet dreams.

 

[Yvonne G]

Hmmmm. Thats right. Is she the one in the series 'suits' ?

yes.

 

[CarolM]

yes.

Just saw on TV they are getting married on the 19th.

 

[JoesMum]

Goodnight all

 

[CarolM]

Goodnight all

Good night Linda. I hope you are feeling better tomorrow.

What breeds did you raise?
I specialized in "Californians". People would place orders a year in advance for the opportunity to purchase them for 4-h and FFA competitions. I was very proud of it too.
I also had champagne d'argents, Flemish giants, english lops, rex, mini-rex, Dutch, Netherland dwarfs, and Holland lops.
In total I had just over 200 breeders. That makes for a lot of baby bunnies.
I miss them..

I have had these ones:

Good morning all.

There is some progress with my back. I still woke in the night, but at 5am not 3am. And this time it was about a quick trip to the bathroom, rearranging my position in bed and dozing rather than having to get up, use muscle rub, take painkillers and spend an hour walking round downstairs.

It’s not fixed by any means, but compared with a couple of days ago I am improved.

It’s cold, grey and dreary outside and due to get wetter later. Some plants I ordered before I did my back in have been delivered so I have 4 lavenders and 3 sedums (for Joe) that need planting. I am hoping daughter or JoesDad can be coerced into a little digging this morning!
