SKI DISASTER

Okay, yes the kids did their black diamond run with their father, even though I told them not to do it without me.... because I'm a paranoid mother and I have to be there in case someone needs to be saved... but kids and husbands don't always listen. Unfortunately I wasn't able to join them. After my glorious day of skiing, we went back to the condo and enjoyed a nice dinner with friends...no problems... The next morning, as I was making breakfast... gee, my back went out..... This was no ordinary back issue..... I literally could not walk. I really got to know the floor of the condo quite well as I crawled around on all fours to get between the bed, the hottub and the bathroom for two days. It was pathetic! I bawled like a baby all the way home today... it was a painful drive but as soon as we got into Chilliwack I hit the Chiropractor, and I'm happy to report, I can walk now, although at a 90 degree angle... Tomorrow I will visit my miracle worker, Lora, who does accupressure massage & accupuncture... I am very sad because I've realized that I'm out of shape and I need to start exercising if I want to ski - and I really, really hate exercising... I get a lot more enjoyment vegging out on the couch and eating bonbons... but I NEVER want to go through this again so I am going to start working it into my schedule.... REALLY!

Thanks for your concern guys!! I'm just gettin old! Although the girl in Walmart today told me I didn't look a day over 25, so I'm having quite a lovely day now!! heehee!

I am able to stand up straight after another visit to the Chiropractor today... still very sore, and limited in what I can do, but I've got an easy week of desk work & meetings ahead so it's all good!
