Speaking of setting the mood!

Once again I have to thank Linda from Life and Linda for creating another new look for me. 

I was in the mood for something warmer in color and I like animal prints so I suggested a leopard print.  I am part Swedish and I got it in my head to use some lions since lions are found all around Sweden and are part of their coat of arms.   I think she did a beautiful job for me and I love it!

I've been laid up with a back issue this week and haven't been visiting many blogs.  I found out my issue is a sacroiliac problem and have been going to my chiropractor for treatments.  I am starting to get some relief and very thankful for it. 

 Now that I look back I can see a few things that had been going on that led up to this. I've been chewing myself out for this because I could have avoided going through this traumatic experience had I been taking better care of myself.

I can't sit very long or walk a lot without limping because this pain in my lower side has been quite tender and the nerves have to calm down.  

I never used to believe in chiropractic care until my husband went through quite a problem with his back, which turned out to be a ruptured disc.  After he recovered from surgery he started regular visits to the chiropractor.  I finally had a back problem which led me to give it a try and was very pleased with the outcome.  I quit going and this past spring I developed some odd issues which varied from it hurting to walk, my knee started to hurt and I'd get into these bouts of lower back pain that were annoying.
Anyway I firmly believe I could have avoided this if I had kept up with some regular visits.  The kind of chiropractor I go to is considered a low force low impact chiropractor.  No bone crunching or heavy manipulation.
  

Well this was a different post but that's about all I have to offer today!
