Well have been housebound since Mon, can walk around a little but pain is excruciating ! Have had back spasms before but never anything lasting so long or so debilitating, am taking 22 painkillers daily so feel pretty groggy, every muscle has gone into spasm and no reflex in left leg, have improved cause I couldn't walk at all so it will be a long slow process. Will be on the " feeling sorry for myself" bench for a while................... Have not read any posts so once I pick up will go backwards and check whats what, thinking of you all xx ... View more

just a quickie have had to get emergency doc to my home (first time ever), back went into spasm (happened before many times) but this time couldn't walk at all so ED came and saved the day. Can move but very tenderly, way to have some toast then off to bed, tabs will knock me out, thank goodness for drugs xx ... View more

How awful FF, seeing the accidents leaves you with such a horrible feeling. Funny that your daughter and you were on each others doorsteps, as someone has already said great minds........have a lovely day today. Excellent about the bras, have found a huge difference with comfiness, they maybe the ones grumpy was talking about. Your first egg CH how exciting, first of many ! Just away to start tidying up, not so foggy brained this morning , afterwards have a good book and some things taped so lazy day may even go to chippie for tea, so onto the "lazy, hazy day" bench for me, still have tiffins left so can share with anyone who wants to eat digustingly sweet things..............am in carriage 2  xx ...
