still in pain

Low Back Pain Pictures, Images and Photos

I slept well on a very stiff cardboard box. My mattress is too soft so I put a heavy piece of cardboard on the top of it. It made a good difference. Unfortunately my back is still hurting. I iced it, and now I have one of those hot bandages on it. I can not move without pain. My garden will have to wait. I'm going to go buy food for my kids, and then I plan on laying flat the rest of the day. Maybe I can get Juergen to come home early again? I hope it's not a disk, I think it's not. I've had this pain before and it got better with in a few days. I could use some prayer. It's impossible for me to get anything done. I've got laundry to do, and cleaning, and more. This is not good!

Ouch! God is not limited by to what limits us...
Love you sis.
Sorry to hear that you are still hurting. Sounds like you are doing most of the right things to get better. But it does take time. There is one more step that will be painful to start with but cut the revery time, walking. The more you walk, the more relaxed those muscles will become. Trust me, I have been there many times and tried just laying down. Walking is better. Mom

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to h...

Happy Birthday to Jessica

Today Nicole and I took Jessica shopping. She turns 22 years old tomorrow. She has grown over the past year. She now likes her disabled workshop. And she has begun to learn to write again on the computer. It is a slow process, but maybe she can write independently in the next 5 years. Her teacher is wonderful. We are very blessed to have her help! If I stopped and thought about what Jessica might be doing if she was healthy, it could break my heart. Birthdays should be happy, but when your child is disabled it's always bitter sweet. Bitter because of the milestones that were never met, and sweet because of the person that is still very valuable and wonderful. But I'm sure everyone feels bitter sweet about something in your life. Life is never only sweet. For me it is much better to fix my eyes on what is there and let go of what I hoped for...what every parent hopes for. Jess bought a new book, 3 DVD's and a Fanta. I also took her to McDonalds because that is ...
