BYC Café

I'm fine now that I'm awake and have had my medication. I had fallen asleep in my comfortable chair but I woke up when hubby was in the room. I'm a light sleeper and usually wake myself up when I'm not breathing well. The C-pap machine helps but it also wakes me up so I'm not really getting a restful sleep. Thank you for your concern.

Nice to have you here!

Oh no! I hope you heal quickly and without complications. I’d send a hug, but not a good idea with broken ribs…

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.

I hope @Rambling Iris and @LTAY1946 are both feeling better very soon. Take care of each other and take it easy!

Today is my first PT day. I hope I learn something about the nature of my injury and we make progress with as little pain as possible.

I’m so glad it’s not arthritis in your hip. Hoping PT will relieve your pain quickly.

Good morning, and thanks for the coffee. Met our daughter's new pug puppy yesterday - what a sweetheart.

It's a pinched nerve at L5 possibly due to a bulging disc. I had traction today and will do that 2x per week.

No more lifting the 50# feed bags by myself and I have to do 1/2 loads of wood to get that in the house. I will require C to help move the saws around with me so I can finish the bathroom remodel. My table saw weighs 53#. The chop saw isn't too bad at just under 27#.

There is a kind of traction table, where you put your feet in, swing around and then the feet are up and the head down ( not a good idea if you are suffering from high blood pressure) it kind of releases the pressure on your discs and stretches you out, here you can sometimes buy stuff like that 2. hand …

The research on these tables has shown them to be ineffective. I have some friends who have used them without any real relief. There are exercises that are more effective. I was also told by my PT to purchase the book, Treat Your Own Back. My copy will arrive in about a week.

I didn’t know that, I heard about it from other people who liked it…what really helped me was a kind of spiked mat, it doesn’t help the back per se , but relaxes all the cramped muscles which cause part of the pain
