i am hobbling about,using walking stick i may add,like old man 75 ( 55 on sun march 9th send cheques lol ) i have popped a disc. now bearing in mind i had a discectomy over 14 years ago,1 disc removed,and i have 3 more discs crumbling you would think i would have more sense. am i right??? wrong. lol
yesterday i decided to take that lovely basket of flowers over to pam,so she could see what they looked like. now it was quite heavy,and so they were'nt damaged i put them on passenger seat,drove over to see her. only lives 15 mins away, mum got tv on,cordless phone in bag on zimmer frame, so i knew she was ok. pulled up outside pams, and rather than going round and undoing passenger side door and taking them out there,i lifted them over drivers side,twisted round to get out. and felt it go out. owwww. agonising. pam saw them was impressed in fact so impressed she rang the florists and thanked them they were superb. so, i had a rotten drive back. i got home,still in agony and was then daft enough to set them out in front garden. ok i know i'm mad. but they did need to go out. somehow,and i really don't know how,i planted them all.watered them in and came indoors and collapsed.
today i could hardly get out of bed, i had to go to Wells,needed electric and prescriptions. bloody murder. i really am in lot pain. and am an idiot. i should know better. but i never learn. lol
those of you who have read my inane burblings in past will remember i praised a friend who won slimmer of the week other week. she has now lost a stone exactly. well done. still a bit to go. she doing well.
many thanks for all your kind comments. i now read over 20 journals thanks for guido in part for the jland group,pam for editors choice, and dumb luck. lol in lot pain so am going to bed. duck update, still coming every day,and now starting to keep at mine longer. soon will be keeping here most of day. bless. take care all

Oh Mort Iam so sorry to hear about your back ,I know just how you feel ,I have done similar in the past,and it is agony ,you will have to rest it and just do only what you can ,pleased you ducks are staying longer each day how rewarding ,love to your Mum ...love Jan xx
First of all,happy birthday for sunday,I am busy reading back through your blog,so apologies for any ignorance on my part.I know everyone tells you to rest up,but I kinda understand why you want to keep doing things you know you will pay for later,its determination not to be dragged down by illness and condition,its what drives us and so is a great quality,but sometimes allow yourself a day of rest here and there,you know that already I know but as with all things,there are good and bad days,you know your own bad days and have to accomodate them too.All the best for feeling better soon,at least enough to enjoy the flowers and any sunshine we may get this millennium,love zoe xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

p.s I did you a little link in my blog and you are now inducted to my sidebar,poor soul lol xxx zoe
Mort I do need to scold you but I will not. There is something about, when you or anyone has something, even the flu, You just do not want to give up and admit that you feel awful or in your case, so much pain. Since your discs are crumbling I take it that you have degenerative arthritis. The person that styles my hair aso has that and it is extremely painful. He is taking powerful and a lot of pain medicine. I am truly suprised the Dr's let him have that much. He has had 4 back surgeries and this last one they fused his spine. Maybe talk to you later.

Forgot to add you said you were feeling like a 70 year old, add 8 years to that and you will know how I feel. lol I did tell Randy in my comments that since he was having trouble figuring out his camera, that you would possibly be able to advise him. I don't think I emailed him, but you bet I like and worry about you. Lucille
My other fav man! What am I going to do with you! You can't keep on doing so much!!! Right, that's your row over! If I was close to you I would be round there giving you what for!!. (well It was almost over!) You are too precious to me mort to be geeting laid up out of action. Birthday boy on Sunday eh?. Well you just get plenty of rest. Glad to hear the ducks, like me, are still bothering you! lol. We will keep you on your toes. ;-) Love Pam xx
Awww won't it be nice when they visit you with the ducklings :o) You'll definitely have to take some piccies then!! Ouchies at your disc :( Bless Pam ringing the florists how sweet is that!!
