Summer is keeping an eye on me while I'm not moving because my back is out.
I over did the gardening yesterday.
I think.
The heating pad is my friend.

Oh, I am so sorry!

If you have things you need to do over the next few days, that are especially hard on your back, you could post here for suggestions on how to do them differently. If you think that would be helpful 😊

Some of us have a lot of practice figuring out alternate ways to do things with a back injury

But of course you may not have time or mental energy to weed through the responses 💞

It's my lower back. I will be able to take it easy today.
I way over did weeding and carrying water in buckets yesterday.
I'm sure it will be less painful by tomorrow.
Everyone is so kind here.

@NorcalGma2@sfba.social @NilaJones@zeroes.ca Oooh, I hate it when that happens!! Hope you feel better soon! I had to stop carrying 5 gallon buckets around to watering my plants after doing that one too many times. Now I use a smaller container... which is a lot more walking around, but so much better on my back. Hope the heating pad works fast!
