sorry i've been absent for the past few days, but i had a run in with hospital. well. i had to run in to hospital, to be more accurate. i threw my back out and pinched a nerve somehow and have been on bed rest and using a tens unit to alleviate the pain (not to mention some heavy pain meds) and to help it to heal. this means that i've had limited internet access other than through my android. i'm home now and taking it slow and easy, so hope to be back online more regularly soon. i've been missing my online friends and creative outlets! at least now i get to lay in bed and stitch for a few days!

sending healing thoughts your way. sorry to hear about your back. hope you're up and about soon. having stitching time is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI'm SO sorry to hear about this! Been there, done that...the whole 9 yards. My tens unit is tucked on the top shelf of my closet waiting (for a long time I hope) to be needed again. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Ouchie! Sorry to hear this, Joe! Enjoy your drugs, I mean meds, and your hand stitching time, and feel better soon!

This does not sound like much fun- Hope that you are soon feeling your old self and back on line.
ReplyDeleteTake care of your back and rest while you. can.
Wishing you a speed recovery.
Regards,
Anna
Best wishes, i hope it heals quickly for you.
ReplyDeleteJoe, I am so sorry about your pain. If the tens unit doesn't help, try trigger point injections. I have nasty nerves in my neck and the injections have helped. I hope you are able to do some stitching to take your mind off the pain. Hugs and wishes for a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteHi Joe - been there now and then - knees bent, feet flat on bed/floor/sofa/other flat comfortable surface, and plenty of time for reading I hope. But crikey it's boring after a while isn't it? Hope you recover well and thoroughly, don't push it if you don't have to ;-) ..... I think blogger agrees, it offered miscarap as verification - you've obviously had one!!
ReplyDeleteOh dear.... nerve pain is THE WORST! Speeding healing to you... and happy sewing while you rest.... blessing from the forest!
ReplyDeletefeel better!
ReplyDeleteAh I wondered where you were Joe, sorry to hear about your hospital trip and the bad back, hoping you are now on the mend and back to good health soon. Sending you best wishes and happy thouhts <3
ReplyDeleteJoe, glad you're home now and hope you'll be feeling better really soon. Today in a store I saw a wonderful blue buddha for healing and although I don't actually own one...I send it to you from my mind and prayers.
ReplyDeleteOuch...that is painful. Speedy recovery to you; but allow enough stitching time.
ReplyDeleteSending relaxing/healing/peace-full thoughts your way.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better soon Joe!
ReplyDeleteJoe, so sorry to hear this! Feel better fast!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs. xoxo
Oh my. So sorry about this and hope you heal completely and quickly without too much discomfort. Some healing, calming blue light coming your way from me to you.
ReplyDeleteNow what the heck is a tens unit?
Gosh, is this catchy? Been dealing with back pain too. I've had probes and needles stuck from my back on down to my left leg this week to check for nerve damage. Haven't been sleeping well as I can't seem to find a good position. Been a pill popper lately too!
ReplyDeleteJoe, sorry to hear about your back, yowch! I have had my back go out but not so I had to go to the hospital and that was bad enough. Hopefully you can enjoy your bedrest and stitch away.
ReplyDeleteOh I know that pain. The kind that makes you want to pass out. I had a year of wearing a back truss and lying with knees supported with pillows and all the rest. Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteOh, dear Joe....please take it easy and be gentle on yourself. breath in...breath out.
ReplyDeleteOuch. Take care of yourself.... whatever it takes.
