A Snap of My Garden: 8th July 2022
Twenty minutes on the garden
Just a little bit of weeding
It was that one at the back
Just out of reach
I stretched
Couldn’t straighten
Return of the bad back

Anti-inflammatories and time will heal it. Torn ligaments, strained muscles. Ouch! And I had intended to do so much

It’s not fiction. I wrote it shortly after the *accident*, before I realised how bad it was. It’ll heal, meantime it’s making sure I don’t *over-reach* myself!

It’s healing, thank you. I’m just being extra careful now until it’s had time to strengthen 🙂

Having cleared out my front “garden” – weeds over a foot high, a rectangle of maybe 3 X 5, give or take… I feel you pain. And hope yours is not serious!

I’ll heal. It’s not the first time it’s happened. Meanwhile…trying to find something to keep myself occupied

It’s almost healed. Though I’ve a feeling it’s waiting for me to do it again 🙂

Back’s better. But my neck’s a pain in the…neck

That’s good. But that’s no fun. Seems the neck takes forever to get better. I always have issues with mine. Course, I do have a hernia…

No, it’s real. And it hurts. And anti-inflammatories just send me to sleep! So I am mostly sleeping

Thank you, Na’ama. It is much better. But I’m wisely being careful for a while

Yep, you only get one spine (and supporting structures …) so I’m all for taking it gently and being careful a while!

Yay for chill breeze! My sister was just in London this week for a conference … Not the best time for visiting … but, she survived. 😉

It was hot. I feel for her. Folks are saying we Brits are wimps, that this is nothing compared to other countries. But we’re not used to it, we have no systems in place (read that as AC)

Britas are NOT wimps. It was HOT, and your area is not equipped for that heat. It is as if someone would say that I’m a wimp if I freeze in an unheated cabin in an Arctic blast, just because people who have winterized, weatherized homes and are used to that cold, won’t.
That heat wave was NOT normal, and it is easy enough for us in NYC, from our AC, to say that it is no big deal. We had a stretch of over 90f (in the mid 30s with a ‘feel like’ close to 40) last week, but MOST places are air-conditioned here, because MOST summers are that hot. So … Yea. You’re not wimps. You had to endure the swelter, and most did, but you are welcome to complain!

I wish it were. Stubborn as ever, I insisted on finishing that patch of weeding. Which wasn’t a good idea. It’ll heal.
