Good News...Bad News

[becka]

The good news is that my back is feeling better. I am still hurting but the major spasms seem to have tapered off! I am still trying to take it easy since I still have some pain but it has been nice to be able to get up a little more.

The bad news is that our air conditioning went out last night and it is going to be HOT here today. We can't get anyone out here until tomorrow to fix it.

P.S. I really wish I had time to write back to each person who sent me a PM over the last few days right now. Hopefully I will get to each of you over the next couple of days so please don't think that I am ignoring you all. Thanks!!

Glad to hear the spasms have tapered off. So, so sorry about the air conditioning. Send dh to the store for lots of cool treats and a fan to point right at you.

Glad to hear you are feeling better.

Good to hear you are feeling better, Becka. And hope it contiunes to improve to 'all better'.

And we too know how it is when A/C konks out. Hope it does not get overly warm there, forecast is mid 80's today, low 60's at night, I would miss it too. Drink lots of water.

Glad to hear your back is better....sorry to hear about the A/C.

We have our windows open right now. It is pretty nice here in Ohio this morning. It is 71 and a bit breezy. So much better than the A/C.

Good luck!

The good news is better than the bad. Sorry about the air, whatever did we do without it. I can't imagine, the humidity kills me.

Anyway, stay cool and comfortable and continue to get well. How is Nathan doing?

Well, Becka! Bless your heart. I hope it doesn't get all that hot today. Do you have a fan?

You are having a run of bad luck these days. {{{HUGS}}} my friend. I'm so glad that your back is less painful. I hope you tolerate the heat easily today.

I'm glad to hear that your back is feeling better. Don't lift anything, yet, make sure it has time to heal completely.

We don't have air conditioning. Do you have a good fan. I sleep with a fan blowing right in my face.

Becka,

Glad to hear the back is feeling better. Are you feeling good enough that maybe you could head out to an air conditioned mall or movie? If not hopefully you can find ways at home to stay cool.

I agree with Dan, don't forget to drink lots of water!

Take it easy Becka. I'm glad your back is feeling better! Hopefully the AC guy can come out first thing tomorow morning!

Boy, can I sympathize with you about back problems! Once you have them, they are at best, IMHO, only manageable. My ice pack is one of my closest friends these days, along with ibuprofen, an occasional relaxant, a back support belt and sometimes a soft neck collar. Too bad those of us with back problems just aren't able to take a good rest and let the injury heal but life just persists in distracting us.

Take care.

I'm glad your back is feeling better! I have two window ACs that we're not using, want me to drive them up? It'll only take me about 12 hours...

Glad to hear you are feeling better Becka! The a/c being broken sounds like a good excuse to get out the kiddie pool and spend the day in it with Nathan!

 

[jamsmom]

I am so lgad that you are starting to get a little relief from the back pain. That is no fun. Be sure you take it easy for a while.

Now, here is hoping you can stay cool until they get your AC fixed. Maybe a hotel is near?

Becka,
Glad the back is better!!!

I haven't had to kick the AC on in the house yet - but the aC in my car is slowly dying.....

 

[Talking Hands]

FANS and get dh to take you out to eat even if it is just to BK. Enjoy the a/c while you are there. Do not cook! Don't want to heat the house up more than it is w/o ac. Hope it is fixed soon. Glad the back is doing better.

 

[Boots]

Glad to hear that you are feeling better. And maybe it won't be too hot today! Here are some more {{{{HUGS}}}} for you!

Actually I did not have anything for him today but not because of what happened on Mother's Day. I was going shopping last Sunday before I hurt my back to go buy DH a remote control car. He would like it and I know that DS would love it as well. I will pick it up sometime this week on my lunch break. A toy they can play with together.

So far the house is not tooo bad but it is a little toasty. Thankfully there has been a little bit of a breeze on and off so that makes it much easier to deal with.

Nathan is feeling fine. He has been playing most of the afternoon and I just finished up giving him his snack so he is back to playing again right beside me. I would take him out sometime this afternoon but DH is gone and I don't want to risk it by myself just yet in case my back happened to get worse again.
