I;m setting here for day 2 of extreme pain all over my back...dunno what I did to cause it, maybe I didn't, maybe it's just part of the aging process, if so I'd like to skip it please...I'm resisting a trip to E.R. cause it would be very hard to get diagnosed on long holiday weekend...at least I have a heat pad. 🙁

My plan is to do laundry. My eyes are watering because the smell of wood smoke is coming through my closed windows or around my air conditioner. Hard to believe I used to cook and heat with wood and now it makes my eyes water and stuffing me up. I even opened my door to the hallway which I never do.

I had to put my air conditioner on my back small patio since my neighbor parks his car on the side of his house and the fumes, from his old car, would have entered the house.

Unfortunately I know very well what that feels like Hawkdon..I'm so sorry you're suffering today... try Ice and heat 20 mins on 20 mins off..

Eww. That would be awful. It's not healthy.

I'm taking the day off today. Having Collin over the weekend (til Tues, actually) wrecked my back, but it was worth it.
But I'll probably do some housework this evening.

Yup, it is against code to park where he is parking but no use to report him, until I move 😂

That's not just part of aging, Hawk. Something probably happened. Heat and rest; both good. Is there an Urgent Care clinic near you? If there is you should go.

All my back doctors and my PT therapist and acupuncturist say No Ice. Not for the back. I've used ice, and it just causes more pain, plus slows healing. I don't even use Icy-Hot anymore. Heat brings good bloodflow to the area, and that's what you need there.

I only ever use Heat on my back now as well... however I think Hawkdon has done something suddenly to his back and that's where Ice and heat might be more useful....
 
Bought groceries this morning then took out two movies from the library. After lunch, took the car out of the garage and parked it in the driveway for a free car wash when it rains later and overnight. Swept up and straightened out the garage.

As someone with a multitude of spine issues, I'm just saying I don't recommend ice. But sure, Hawk can try it and see if it helps. It's not going to do any damage at all.

well ditto..I also have multiple issues with my back... I only ever use heat.. but I have been told consitenly by doctors if the pain comes on suddenly the remedy is Ice then heat.. most people would prefer not to put ice on ( wrapped in a tea towel).. but 20 mins on, 20 mins of heat that's what we'retold as you can see in the link I posted...

My daughter is hacked off.. because she took her car for a wash this morning when it was sunny.. and it rained this afternoon
 
Today was busy. I scheduled my work stuff to have the day off because we’re taking off to California next week for my oldest granddaughter’s graduation. So I shopped for suitcases, went to my hairdresser for my 6 week cut (2 weeks early because if I wait till after we get back it will be completely unruly!) got my pedicure, picked up some clothes I’d ordered, and now it’s 6.30 and I’m trying to figure out what to make for dinner.
