Taking care of the grandbaby put some added stress (about 30 lbs) on the old back. My leg was becoming more numb and I started feeling more pain down the sciatic nerve--fearing a return to a prior month from hell when I needed back surgery. The old Doc did say my disc could let loose anytime--surgery would not prevent it from happening again. Great news for future paranoia!
Now if you should stop by in the evening, after I've taken a walk or warmed up my back in some exercise manner, you will catch me hanging on my table, relaxing to the music in my head or to the sound of the tv. This window of opportunity lasts about 10-15 minutes. (Only the neighbors who watch my every move will be able to catch me hanging. And that's only if they can talk Wayne into letting them in. (Knowing him, he'll just charge a small fee and even volunteer to take pictures for them. Just another great tourist attraction in the great show-me state of Missouri!)
Anyway, the old sciatic nerve has settled down, thank you GOD! My back isn't as sore and I don't have to take a constant dose of Ibruprofen. (I do plan to take out stock in all anti-inflamatory drugs, along with Oxycodone, and Lyrica. Ahhhhh...Lyrica. Wonder drug.....)
So if any of you are feeling a pang here or there in the old joints, feel free to come hang with me!
Do I know how to make friends or what????
P.S. I think I may be a little taller than I was last month!!

Love the pic of the bats hanging upside down. It is so you! Old bat!!! Get it? hA HA HA. Glad it is working! Thank God. I'd hate to see you have to sell that baby at a garage sale. I can just see you demonstrating it. People come up and your hanging from it collecting money from patrons for other items. Call me if you are planning this cause you know you and I are the queens of garage sales and playing different characters to get a sale. You go girl.
