Hello ... excuse me if I scream ...

[ChrisH]

I have been busy for the last few days, my grandaughter has been hogging the computer AND my internet connection has been playing up, so I haven't been checking in PT as much as I would like. This morning my connection is ok, I put everything I have to do on hold and planned to spend some time catching up. Then my back goes.

Now this could last for days or just a few hours but at the moment I have to sit here in one position and keep as still as possible, then every so often get up and walk .. should say shuffle .. around a little so it doesn't lock - all of you with back problems will know what I mean. I can only type with one hand too and it's taking such a long time [can't make an exclamation mark using caps]

Anyway, because I think I am never going to catch up completely I just thought I'd let you know and say sorry in advance for missing and late replys.

Edit Grrrrrrrr my internet connection is giving me problems again. If I go missing entirely you know why.

Chris, I think I can really sympathize with you! I miss being completely mobile badly. I do the shuffle, too!

Oh Chris! I'm sorry to hear your back is giving you problems and you haven't been able to be on PT very much (since PT is the most important thing). I do hope you feel better soon and are able to catch up on everything you've missed!
Take care of yourself!
Anna

Thanks Anna & David.

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!! When it rains it pours. I hope all gets back (no pun ) to normal soon.

[Barbara]

Chris I am so sorry to hear that. But you must promise one thing: You cannot "go entirely missing"! We will wait here for you until your computer is back to normal and we hope very much your back too

[micki76]

Is there anything worse than having your back go out? I can tell you from personal experience, NO!

I'm so sorry your back is acting up. I hope it feels better soon. Take lots of Advil, and rest!

[Randi]

Chris, I'm sorry to hear your back is acting up - and your computer too. Hope it all gets back to normal soon!

You'll catch up eventually.

Best wishes, and purrs from Fister.

Oh Chris, do I ever feel for you! Back pain is simply the worst. When mine goes out on me I cannot get anything else done.

I hope you are feeling better real soon and your internet connection becomes stable.

[slick]

Sorry to hear you are in such pain Chris. I've never had back problems so can't really offer up any advice except to recommend some serious Bob and Ebby therapy. Please take care of you.

[Samantha Puppy]

I completely understand the whole back pain issue. Sorry to hear yours is acting up - hope you feel better soon! Also that your internet connection feels better soon too!

Give Bob some ear scratchies for me.

Oh Chris - I'm so sorry - I really commiserate with you. Back pain is AWFUL!
Just do what you know is best - do you have a decent pain killer to take? I always find cups of tea and a cat on the knee just about the best thing!!
Oh I know that shuffle-walk too - Don says I look like my knickers are falling down!!!
Take good care of yourself and I hope it's only a spasm and will pass very soon. xxx

Aw, thanks all. It means so much to know you are there, and care!

Less pain while sitting here now - I can even use both hands to type! Moving about is still painful but hopefully I will be able to get myself some dinner (thank goodness for oven chips (fries) and all frozen food!).

Connection is ok again right now too. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

Back later, I hope!

Chris
