Saturday

water with 'texture'

I am going to contemplate the garden in my minds eye, but not necessarily do any gardening. I had to work this morning and I hate working a Saturday! I did post a while back about how I thought I had pulled a muscle in my belly button, well you may laugh! I have indeed pulled some obscure muscle/fascia connecting my hip/thigh/abdomen , sort of that area, and it is sore!! A kinesiology initiall reading(I have to get a full consultation still) indicates taking vitamin E, so I am. The chiropractors have manipulated me and advised using ice packs, so I am. On Tuesday I am going for this, honestly I am such a crock. . . but the chiropractor did say a day of gardening after an evening of kayaking and something about it being my own fault?

totally different subject, this is interesting.

Sure hope something helps.

I don't comment often but I see all of your posts.

Just so many ways I can say beautiful so I lurk instead.

About your pain - consider you might have a hernia. Get it checked out.

Granny, you are welcome to lurk, though it is so nice when you say hi.
Annie, I thought of that but the chiropractor I work for is fairly sure it isn't, if it doesn't respond to treatment I will go the doctor, who I like as a person but hate to visit!!

Claire, that water texture shot is fabulous! I can see my paddle hitting the water, so this coming week I will brave my excuses and get the boat out...

May your belly button heal quickly! (Never heard of straining a muscle there either, but did take my mom for hernia surgery [belly button] a few years back... It was in & out [one day at the hospital] so not so bad.)

You could look at cranio-fascial massage (I think that's what it's called). They work on the fascia that covers all the muscles, and I had great success with that for my back at one time. Accupunture does wonders, too.

That water is lovely. We're a very long way from the sea here on the land-locked prairie.

Claire, do you feel better today? I can also sing a song about chiropracticers!

Claire the photo is gorgeous!

Hope you feel better very soon. We sure can have the most odd maladies, can't we???


MadcapMum-I grew up on the landlocked prairie and did not see the ocean until I was 17, and then it was just for a week long trip with my church singing group. Now I have a view of the Pacific right out my Living Room window. Kind of weird to me still!


Have a Happy MOther's Day, ladies!!

Wildside, I hope you get the dust washed off your boat! I don't think its a hernia, just a pulled muscle.
Madcapmum, I am seeing Jane tomorrow for this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myofascial_Release
and I have had acupuncture but its a bit pricey. the sea is never far away in scotland,
Sigrun, it is okay till I try to lift something,
Lowa, it is a strange one, I didn't know I had a muscle there! and I hope your mothers day was good too.
