Feel better

Hope you’re feeling a bit better! Back pain is horrendous!!!

Thank You @SweetMissDaisy, I am doing a bit better. It is so hard to not "over-do" when there is so much to do! I do have an appt. with a surgeon on the 18th.

Hey @LocoYokel , how's your back doing?

Hi @thistlebloom, no news is good news... (yeah, sure)
Had surgery scheduled for Dec. 8 but now it is moved to Jan. 25. It can't be soon enuff as far as I am concerned.
Two weeks ago I moved (tugged, pushed, rolled) a few bales of hay to make room for my new baby bunz. Couldn't walk for three days.
Yesterday I spot-cleaned the carpet (dog problem) which in retrospect I should have done one spot a day, not ten. Will be in my chair for a few days again...
The worst is that DH did the leaves this year, they are all gone and NONE on my flower beds. The neighb said I could have some of hers if he comes and rakes 'em up... which is the only way that yard ever gets any work done on it. Since it was my grandfolk's place we do try to help her with the yard since her husband won't. He doesn't even mow it and she doesn't know how to start the mower. (I cleaned the fuel filter and regapped the sparkplug for her last year so at least it runs now.)
Other than that am holding in there! Thank you for asking.

wow you regapped the spark plug, have no idea what that means but sounds butch

Sorry you're still hurting and limited physically. I'm sure the frustration factor is huge!

@Nyboy, I used to build custom Harleys with a friend of mine. Also worked a couple years in an auto shop so I can turn a wrench when needed. Mowers and weed whackers are easy, I'd say something witty about two-stroke motors but it's still kinda early for my brain. (aka:more coffee) I actually enjoy it but rarely get the chance now that I have a DH.
Growing up "country" helped too, most all the girls in my family can change their own oil and tires if not more. Of course there is also the fact that I was a total tomboy, still rather am...

Think that about covers it @thistlebloom...

You just be careful ..

. about putting on too much torque ..

. with any wrench this winter.
