OUCH! goes the bod

We've been lucky here in the West, but today we got a massive does of reality with a powerful snowstorm that has left the streets slick.  Just getting in and out of the car was enough to inflame my sciatica, and then bringing my legs toward my chest in the car (long story) made it worse.

Tried to get my car up the driveway...that wasn't gonna happen.  Even the hubby couldn't do it.

Debbie,

Let me just say, 'I hear you'. Pls be careful going out in that stuff, between the snow & ice, it's just so dangerous. You have had a rough enough yr.

Do you have any meds that you can take to help w/ the sciatica? I have had a problem w/ sciatica for over 40 yrs, since I got hurt in HS gym class. I always worry that I'm going to move too far the wrong way. 

My heating pad is my 'best friend'. Do you have one? Or a Bed Buddy, like Karen mentioned.

Take it easy, hope you feel better by morning.

God bless.  Alice.

Be careful when you are out and about, snow and ice are such crummy combination for getting around. Do you remember the old days when they allowed studded tires???...I had them on my first car for winter driving.

Debbie, hope the sciatica doesn't stick around...I know you know the drill and that type of pain is impossible to get used to, so I just hope it leaves quickly.

Hugs, Robin

I know that feeling all to well (I live in Alaska),
Sounds like the type of day where you should just curl up with a heating blanket, or heating pad, or some such heated awesomeness, hot cocoa (or coffee if you prefer), and a good book.... or a hot bath, or anything else relaxing and warm =p
