No more snow please!
Posted On 01/14/2008 14:30:42 by coppa27

Well, after a week of really nice spring weather here in MA, it's all over. I woke up to about 8 inches of snow! It was really pretty to look at but with a bad back I'm not much good with the shoveling. So I have to wait for help to get the driveway and stuff cleaned off. I enjoy winter but I'm already tired with the snow. Dec. was a tough month - lots of snow. I usually love it but I'm pretty much in a funk with my back. I HATE not being able to do the stuff that I used to be able to do. Having to count on other people to do what I should be doing drives me crazy!!

My doctor wants me to have back surgery but I'm going to try acupuncture and I've gone to Bikram Yoga twice now. That type of Yoga kicks your ass. If you like to work out and sweat then you should try it. It's 90 mins. long and the room is heated to 110 degrees!! The workout is very intense but you can go at your own pace. I already think it has helped with my back. The first day I could barely move but after my second class, I really felt better and for 2 mins. I didn't have any back pain!! 2 Mins might not be long for some people but if you are always in pain - two mins. feels great!!

Well, I guess that's it for today.

Luvmylildoxie - Yes, I do have a herniated disk - L5. My doctor has talked about the discectomy but now he wants to do some other procedure where they go thru my stomach and put a "spacer" in between the discs. A much bigger surgery that could take a year to recover from! I have already been out of work since 4/07 and I really want to get back to work. I hate being out! So, I'm really hoping the yoga will work. I went again today and even though I was pretty sore from shoveling, it still seems to be helping...ever so slowly though! 

I wish I could send you some snow - it would help with water shortage...  We are supposed to get another storm on Friday - might be snow or rain! Then by Sunday down in the teens for a high!! Always crazy weather here. I'm glad it's not as bad as Wisconsin! Wiscgrl - good luck shoveling out!!

Have a good day!!

Ouch, snow and bad backs are a bad combination!  Do you have a herniated disk?  I had that percutaneous discectomy a while back ago.  I had two very large babies.  A herniated disk is much MUCH more painful, so I feel for you!!

We have not had a lot of snow in Wyoming, mostly that horrible nasty wind.  Our bad snowstorms are usually in the springtime, but boy we could use some moisture now.  It's pretty dry here.

I wish I had a place to learn yoga, it sound like it's helping you. 

Take care!
