I'm not even sure what I did to throw my back out this bad, but it's awful. I saw my Chiropractor today and she knew right away that something was very wrong. She really thought I must have done something, but I can't think of anything. I do remember feeling a sharp pain one day last week after I simply bent down to pick up something off the coffee table. It did hurt, but it was nothing major and I thought for sure, it would be much better---long before now. Instead, every day seems worse, but I also have been fighting it and did not want to stop my normal daily activities. Now, it's really hard to change positions and sitting is no longer comfy without a pillow or being in the recliner. She also said my spine is totally out of of alignment and all the muscles are like knots...Grrr!!
Needless to say, I really can not do much of anything and now need to totally REST my back and allow it to heal. I'll be going back on Thursday for another appointment and adjustment! I am not a happy camper and HOPE that by Thursday it will be better. I had a lot of plans this week and do not want to give them up or have to cancel going to my Memory Box class on Sunday?
In the meantime ~ I'll be offline and away from the computer! I'll try to pop in on Thursday afternoon with an update after my appointment. Special thanks to everyone who has been sending well wishes and been so kind to me while I continue to battle Fibro. I'm off now to take a nap and hope when I wake up, I'll feel a bit better.

A Little About Me
- ThePurplePlace
- Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
- Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".

There is nothing worse as it affects everything you try to do. Hope you're feeling better after a session with the chiropractor.
