TNT: Back in Shape

 

I'm still not 100% yet but I'm on the mend thanks to a YouTube series on a channel called Back in Shape from the UK. I could sit up pain free long enough on Saturday to work on Mr. Camel. 



On Sunday I got the branch stitched on Patchwork Automne in a couple of sittings.




Yesterday I could bend my body around my big lap frame long enough to finish that blue tree I started in the Garden.




All thanks to this guy and his technicolor spine demonstrations and simple decompression movements that made a world of difference almost instantly. I'm still not up and running as usual but it's a huge improvement from just a few days ago and getting better every day. 




I'll know I've won this war when I can get back to this. It's going to be a challenge because over the weeks I've been inactive I've lost all my needle stick callouses. My fingers are as smooth as a baby's butt. That's bad.

  2. Your stitching is looking good; I'd like a blue tree like that in my yard! I don't know what it is about the UK and their physios, but I do exercises from a different guy for my hips and they work better than any PT I've had in the US. I like that technicolor spine!

  3. Hallelujah! I'm so glad that you're doing better. Back pain isn't for sissies. Ask me how I know. Ha! Love the stitching and will be waiting for you to get back to the cloth projects.
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy
