Back pain is a real pain in the back!








A few years ago while I was working at a nursing home I had a man fall on me and injure my back really bad. I knew if he fell that he would break his hip and it would be down hill from there so I figured that I would cushion his fall. He was the sweetest man. His name was Frank but we all called him Uncle Frank. He would sing me show tunes and tell the best stories. He was a great big man too, like 6'5" kind of big s that falling on me at 5'0" didn't go over so well.  I went through extensive therapy and was out of work for quite some time. While in the therapy they taught me to help my back by strengthening my core. After that pain, I would pretty much do anything not to have to go through that again so I did just what they asked of me and I started really paying close attention to working on my core.  Needless to say I will not be following her anytime soon!
I wonder what she was doing to figure out she could get in that position anyway? ha ha


Two weeks ago today I was at my sweet baby nieces birthday and I couldn't resist but picking her up when she asked.  Could you resist this precious little face?
Well, apparently I moved all wrong at some point because ever since I have had the worst back pain and it runs down my leg and into my foot.
UGH!
The worse part is that today is my nephews party and I can't go do to the pain. I can't hardly stand and when I sit it makes the pain worse that radiates down my leg into my foot. My heart is broken I hate missing anything for them! I was going to paint faces for my sweet little Sam's big day! Plus, my sister throws the greatest birthday parties!I sure hope this gets better soon. So far after 2 weeks of bed rest as well as a spinal injection......nothing seems to be working:(. 

Have a wonderful day Sammy J! Aunt Candace loves you to the moon and back kid!
