Morning all!

Still in a lot of pain with my back and all movements are difficult and very slow.
Going out to do some dead heading in a moment, not too sure about attempting any bulb planting....too much bending would be required.

My brother, bless him, has offered to push my Dad in the wheelchair tomorrow......and it's my brother's wheelchair that we're borrowing!!! I have to attend the hospital app with my Dad anyway so fingers crossed we will all hobble through it together!! I can imagine the looks I'd get from everyone if they thought I was allowing a disabled person to push someone else in a wheelchair!!


Have a good day everyone.

 

Shiney, Moyra and Upsydaisy I think you all need to go on a spa holiday and relax and massage them aching muscles and limbs

 

Now that sounds good @Flumpy !


You never know @shiney it might still come to that!! Not forgetting my poor brother( he's also our driver, because my Dad can get into his car easily ...imagine the 3 of us all piled onto the wheelchair and a poor porter having to push us all!!

We would certainly get a few looks!!

 

Good morning everyone, I have also joined the bad back brigade. What with that and my torn ligament in my knee I do feel as though I need a break. @Upsydaisy and @shiney I hope you are on the mend shortly. Have a good day, take care and wrap up warm and dry and above all stay safe and well. @Flumpy I don't think my back would bear a massage it is so painful at the slightest movement.

 

Afternoon all!

Sorry to hear about your back @moyra, I certainly feel for you. My back is also so painful...I dare anyone to come anywhere near me. I felt every jolt during the car journey this morning.
Didn't help that my Dad was in a cantankerous mood and said some very hurtful words to me as I was struggling to push him through the hospital , I was close to tears I must admit.
I was dropped back at home as I couldn't face going back to spent the afternoon with them.
Now doing some 'gentle ' housework and listening to some calming classical music.....bliss. I have to go through a repeat performance in a couple of weeks , the same time that I will have my sister to look after as well.....trying to block that thought out for the time being!!

Have a fab afternoon everyone!!

 

Good morning everyone, what a motley crew we all are! Backs are so tempremental and can go out so easily. Have a good day and watch how you go. stay safe and well God bless.

 

Hi,

I'm sorry to learn so many of you have bad backs and hope each of you can get better quickly; the problem of course is as soon as you start to feel better out comes the spade and mower etc.

I'm still pretty mobile so how about me dropping a Cummins V8 into a wheelchair for you Upsy as a start then you could just hang on instead of pushing your dad around? In a couple of weeks take along some good quality ear muffs or a Walkman; relations can be a real pain that's why I divorced all my relations a few years ago to finally get a bit of peace.



I hope I'm not making light of back pain but just trying to be cheerful; have you noticed how when you feel rock bottom some fool remarks there's always someone worse off never mentioning the millions who are better off?

I too have a bit of back trouble at the moment but it's my own fault for going mad cutting back laurels and digging laurel stumps up together with lots of shredding; I'm just happy at 72 to be here enjoying life.

Chin up Upsy you've got lots of friends here.

Kind regards, Colin.
