Herniated Disk - YUCK

Yep, have a Herniated Disk L5 SI, isn't that fun????   How did I do this to myself, haven't a clue????   Old Age- I'm only 54 and really that is the new 34 right? At least that is what everyone is telling me.....but I'm not buying it!  No instead going through Physical Therapy (for the second time), yes this happened originally 2 years ago, no surgery just therapy and could not for the life of me remember doing anything to harm my back, after all I have been doing this:

Well.....this actually is not ME but I have been participating in Pilates for 5 years now and before that, it was "The Step" aerobic exercises, oh and this too:

This IS me but haven't riden in 2 years!  :(

And some more pics of what "might" have caused back issues:

Well, I don't know so now am waiting for my appt at physical therapist....what trouble can I get into now????-----

Hi...

Just thinking here, yes thinking :)Was listening to the morning show here and laughed out loud, it was about a young "millenium" lady, "20 something yr old" that has written a book, and she said that some, not all, "20+ yr olds" think they are THE "special unique snowflake" and once out of college and in the work world, they find out that they are Not.....what a shock it is to find out that they are Not That Special Snowflake and I thought of some 20 yr olds (not naming names here) that do think that way and was laughing so hard I nearly spit out my Tea! :)  Oh...we all raise our kids to think they are that one special unique snowflake...I am guilty of that times ten, but, well, we love them so much that they are special and unique to us, but in the "Big World" it is soooo different....that is why there is "home"....."Home is where we come when we Fall and we All Fall"....  yep, Home :)
Happy Wednesday everyone!!
