Hey all!! Just checking in to say "hey" and to let you all know that , no, I wasn't kidnapped, I had a back spasm and have been doing research on what I can do to PREVENT or at least, Lessen these horrible episodes...This year I have had THREE...usually I get one, maybe 2 per year but this year has been awful....so I have been doing lots of research, the correlation between this hell and the GAD and how they are related, but there ARE things I can do to at least lessen the severity and maybe even prevent their re-occurrance..so today was my first day doing the stretches and yea, they do loosen me up...so anyway AND
I MET A GUY!!!! He is more interested than I am, I think because I am so slow and wary, but I told him this Monday's coffee/tea meeting will have to be on hold because I am sore from my back and hopefully I can , by stretching, see progress so I don't need to see Dr. and get a Toradol shot.....
Anyway, its EASY does it and SLOW and observe and if I see any red flags, I am gone like a big butt bird.....I think I can trust me to THIS TIME heed the warnings, if I get any, and hey!!! whats wrong with just hanging out and being friends??? I've been on my own for so long, I am set in my ways....He is real nice, he helps his aged dad which is nice and he has his own business....I met him in a grocery store...I had my athletic apparel on as I was headed for the gym and it was funny, his following me around the store chatting me up....Nice guy!!! I told him that B4 we ever date, i want to chat on phone and then move up to meeting at a safe, public place, etc, one ladder rung at a time.... A girl can't be too careful these days.....He was fine with my boundary....
Anyway, I want to give thanks to our heroes in the Service for their sacrifices, deceased and still living, THANK YOU veterans for defending us and keeping us safe......
Good to see you again Rose sorry to hear of your back problems and do believe that the stretches will help. Glad that you are taking care of you and that includes being open enough to meeting a new man with no red flags so far . Sounds great. Keep showing up for you
So sorry to hear that your back is spasming. I hope that the stretches will tend to it. Good to "see" you again!
