Today was a rare day; I was alone for a bit. Alone to gather my thoughts; I had many things to do...
the dishes were calling me, the garden, the laundry, the dog, etc. This can wait...
No, I am not going to show you my laundry...lol Our beagle, Buster Brown, yes the kids named him; No he doesn't live in a shoe. He thinks he can run around the yard, when my husband was on leave, he let him. Buster will come for him, when he calls, but not for me. He wanted to chase this guest, in our back yard. I grabbed him and dragged him to his leash. Ms. Turtle, I believe is laying eggs...
I have some back issues and have been referred to pain management. I do not want pain meds...they make me feel like I'm sleep walking through life. I do not want another band-aid.
I went for a walk...trying to figure out my options, perhaps write a book, about a woman dealing with pain. She goes to the ER with a gun, or she blackmails a neurologist, who is having an affair with a nurse, to perform her surgery, or she finally has the surgery and they find she isn't human, at all....Nah, not my style~
I am trying to see the glass half full! I still can walk, I am lucky to be here, I am lucky I had back surgery, I am lucky to have an amazing family, friends and blog followers~
I went to the Farmer's Market today. I wish I had taken my camera; next time...
My Dr reminded me, "You aren't 29", while he is in his late 60's recovering from a torn Achilles Tendon,
complaining it didn't heal, 100%. (Yes, my eyebrows are arched, as I typed that line) I look at my life, I know that I, must be patient and try to see the good. The pain, reminds me of the bad...what I have gone through. I had back surgery, after having sciatica down both legs for 3 months. I am lucky and was pain free for about 4yrs~

You make me laugh; lol~ Yes, didn't you know, it is...take a photo of yourself, don't show anything, but your feet or hands~ ;-D
I had an attack of sciatica too, recently, and still had to hobble over to the city to be with Jeff during chemo. (Cant catch a break, sometimes!) I was surprised at how painful that was, relieved when it eased up.
So this post really spoke to me. I hope your back is improving and that you can get enough rest for it to mend and heal....keep me posted.........thank you for your awesome comment on my complicated plots poem........you really "get" what I'm saying and I so appreciate it. I am just going in to post a little true story of someone's near death experience - not mine, thankfully, hee hee. I am trying hard to have a "near-LIFE experience" these days!
Yes, one day at a time.......and flow with the river...........
You certainly found the beauty in the details, as shown by these photos. This is a nice little photo story. Hope your back is feeling a bit better today!

Lee-Message is something is wrong, maybe one of my screws has moved. I have several,holding me together. I didn't say loose, lol!
Dr won't refer me; He has 2 more chances, then I go above him and file a report. I like the man, so I guess, one last attempt, is to ask nicely for a referral... Then I whip out my sword(pen) and file a report!
Amy-Thanks Amy, I will visit you again! It was fun to do a photo story...
Jennifer-Yeah, I don't think those books are for me to write. The one I'd like to write, is true and you know what they say, "the truth is stranger than fiction"...it is~Thank you; Your words have the same affect on me!!!
Jules-Thank you; I will come see you soon! Measuring stick...I will think of that~
Sherry-I like that Near-Life Experience! I know there are people in more pain and less. It is
a difficult road to walk, especially when you can't convince people it is real. I am swollen; I think this is standard procedure for backs. Treat the symptoms, get them out of the office. When does the time line end? When it is discovered it is more. I ran into a woman in a craft store. She just started talking about her back pain. She had gone to Dr for 3yrs...finally, found out what was wrong: Cancer... I don't understand the medical community...sometimes wonderful, other times dreadful! Thanks for sharing so much of YOU~
Stephen-I am now on Feet patrol...looking for more pics~ ;-D
