Absense of Pain for now !

Tweet

I woke up at about 4am , and by 4:30 realized I just was not going to get back to sleep. I knew that I had a lot to do today so I decided to get up . I started with cleaning my sewing room.I have been using it all summer and had never picked any thing up, so the floor was a real mess. It took me 21/2 or 3 hours before I was finished picking up and sweeping up . It was nice to get that job about the way . But what I really noticed was that I had cleaned for that long and I was not in "any kind of pain" . As recently as last summer if I had tried cleaning like that with sweeping and bending , my back would start hurting and my sciatic nerve would started giving me grief . In 2006, and 2007 I had long periods where I was in constant pain. the years 2008,2009 were better but I still could not do much of my own housework. This link will give you a history of my back pain http://chocolatequilts.wordpress.com/2010/08/18/history-of-back-pain/ So I am thankful today to be free of pain,no guarantees that it won't return mean while I will enjoy my good days. For those of you out there in pain, don't give up. there is always hope for relief.
