I woke up this morning…
That was as good as it got. Having gone to bed early I woke after six hours, visited the bathroom, thought about getting up, decided that 5.45 was too early and went back to bed.
At some point between then and 7.00 something happened to my back that rendered me unable to stand upright and deprived me of most of the strength in my left leg.
It was not a good start to the day, which worsened when I overbalanced in the kitchen, found it tricky to get out of the car and, finally, found myself unable to get out of my chair to serve customers. It was painful and embarrassing.
Julia rang me in the afternoon in answer to my anguished text messages, and agreed that a takeaway was in order and that she would sort out the hot water bottle for me.
As I put the phone down I realised the pain had gone. I don’t know if it was coincidence or whether Julia cured me, but next time I’m ill I’ll be giving her a ring before I do anything else.
It has been a very strange day.
Glad your back sorted itself out – hurray, Julia!
She is a miracle worker…
😊
Strange, indeed! Glad that the pain went away so suddenly.
Even pain doesn’t like o around me for too long. 🙂
Phew
It was a miracle!
It certainly seemed that way.
Sounds like a case of severe takeaway deficiency I’d say…
Good thing you got it sorted 🙂
Sorted. Sweet Potato Balti has done the trick.
Ooh! I’ve never had one of them – will have to remedy that ASAP 🙂
Glad it worked for you
It was excellent. 🙂
What a terrible day. I’m glad it got better mysteriously and fast. As for commenting, it seems that something with a new version of my browser (Safari, for those of you who might wonder) keeps me from remaining signed in and I have to manually sign in on a lot of blogs, but not all (the .com ones??) Anyhow, it’s mostly working now, provided this goes through…Glad you’re better, Quercus.
Thank you. The world of technology can be a strange one…
You were lucky. A bad back is a severe handicap to enjoying life at all. Gentle exercise required?
I did try to get up and walk round the shop every hour, but at one point it became impossible. Agree I was lucky – things don’t usually clear up so fast.
Bad Back Blues? You need to write a song, Quercus!
I hope they can figure out what happened to your back. Sounds like a pinched nerve. Here I would go see my chiropractor if that happened to me. I had something like that happen to me once as a cross-country runner back in high school. A stretch of the course went downhill (on a paved road), and I found myself losing sensation in my left leg. It got worse, but I managed to crawl across the finish line. After sitting a while, the feeling came back in the leg. Never happened again.
I did wonder if it was a nerve, particularly the way it suddenly returned. I hope it follows the same pattern as yours and doesn’t come back.
Tried to reply, but again no…….had to dox myself. So, no. 🤷♀️

Sorry to hear that. Not sure what’s going on – several people have had trouble.
