OKAY ... HERE'S A REASON, OR, EXCUSE, FOR NOT ADDING TO THIS FOR OVER A MONTH ....
OKAY ... HERE'S A REASON, OR, EXCUSE, FOR NOT ADDING TO THIS FOR OVER A MONTH ....
- For one thing, I had been getting discouraged about the same-0 , same-o entry of taking more aspirins & more liniment ... & not being able to get much done ... & being so broke.
- And ... I had been successfully procrastinating by never getting around to setting up my "summer desk" and laptop ... so I could just come into the sunroom instead of running upstairs to jot down a note of the moment.
I finally dug out the laptop, solved the plugin system, charged up the laptop (which is old & excruciatingly SLOW) ... , and made room on the desk in the sunroom again. It is really a lovely place to sit, surrounded by windows ... but, entirely too cold in the winter!CURRENT CONDITION:
I spent many hours getting loosened up ... was sore & stiff at dawn ... took a while to get out of bed & get in gear. I am wondering if my upper back seems happier ... overall ... because I am active outofdoors doing spring things around the place. It gets awfully sore ... & hurts, too ... but, I've always felt that my upper back NEEDS exercise (and my lower back needs the couch potato treatment). Really hard to do both!
HERE'S MY OLD NOTES FROM MAY:
3:34 AM 5/11/2006
Up in the middle of the nite, again ... I was getting quite miserable trying to find a comfortable way to lie. The worst pain was on my left side, but, not in the lower back as usual. My lower ribs were cramping & making it hard to stand straight, or walk.
4:38 AM 5/12/2006
Guess what ... it's the middle of the night again ... my back is giving me grief & keeping me awake. Maybe it is partly from stress/tension worrying about money.
I took some aspirins again & the last of my gin. This time, it is mostly my mid back & upper back ... really hurts ... like about a seven or more.
12:57 PM 5/12/2006
I DID GET BACK TO SLEEP ... slept soundly. While still in bed, I do a traction exercise where I grab the headboard, and gently, but, firmly pull to stretch my back. I THINK that seems to help.
I got off to a fairly slow start ... come to think of it ... without too much discomfort ... Then, I spent a long time in a nice hot bath. NOW ... my back feels great. There is still a sensation that I can feel that it HAD been hurting ... BUT ... is feeling so much better now.
12:07 PM 5/13/2006
I faded out early yesterday ... actually didn't do to much of anything. Is that why my back feels so great today? I think that I will take some precautionary aspirins & do some more exercises, esp. the traction ones. I don't really notice a great effect from the aspirin ... but ... I figure that they might do some good overall because of being anti-inflamatory. Also, another factor ... I know that, even subconsiously, I have stress from worrying about how I'll get thru the month financially. It would be great if I could sell a little something on eBay, or, get over my mental block & get some more advertising out on my craft project & make some personal contacts about selling locally. When the craft show comes up ... I don't think that I will have the $20 to rent a booth.....

INSTEAD OF AN ENTRY ... HERE'S A COPY OF A PREVIOUS ONE ... SAME-O, SAME-O ... EXCEPT FOR THE TIMES & I AM OUT OF GIN & CANNOT AFFORD ANY MORE RIGHT NOW.
