feeling elated...excited and over the moon when a "beyond my wildest dreams" parcel of wonderful fabulousness arrived from Tim Holtz and Ranger late on Tuesday afternoon...
but I'd forgotten that old saying that pride comes before a fall and I can confirm that is definitely true because on yesterday morning's doggy stroll...I slipped on wet leaves and in an Olympian effort to stay on my feet and avoid hitting the ground with a thud..I twisted my back. Good patient I'm not...walking like a pregnant duck with pain shooting down my leg with every step...I had to admit defeat and rest up...my friends will tell you I don't do sitting around/watching TV very well but the "bear with a sore head" mood was averted when...as if by magic the postie came calling with the perfect excuse to take time out without feeling guilty...my little Christmas treat to me from me...
They do say that the instant cure for muscle strain is to plunge yourself into an ice cold bath...sod that for a game of soldiers...I stuck with my tried and tested "works everytime" remedy...a painkiller or two and feet up snuggling a hot water bottle and woohoo it seems to have done the trick...I won't be running any marathons but the appointment with the knackers yard has been cancelled and I'm back in the swing...cubbyhole here I come.

Ouch!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the hot water bottle treatment seems to have done the trick.
Some lovely peeks for us to drool over.

Poor you Kath. Hope it settles soon. Lots of lovely craftiness WIP here today xx
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are feeling much better today but please, please - no more trips or slips or Santa will think you have been very naughty .....!!

If determination is a cure, you'll be up and at 'em by tea time Kath...if not, then you enjoy the book and a chance for a chill before any more whirlwinds hit you...take care...xx
ReplyDeleteOh Kath,
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain...really! I have permanent back problems but even though they are painful, I don't think they come even close to one back strain a few years ago. I was in charge of the checkout department and security office of a large DIY store and one day, just as I grabbed hold of the very heavy door to the safe, I sneezed. It felt like someone had run a red-hot poker through my back muscles! It's so easily done isn't it but I have to agree that your remedy is MUCH better than the cold bath route lol.
Glad to hear that you're feeling better and that some goodies came with Mr. Postie :)
