Today was finally a day without constantly being aware that my back was hurting. It is amazing how much we take for granted a pain-free existence. Maybe this is the first inklings of age!! Whatever the case, it feels so good not to be taking medication, putting a heating pad on my back and then putting ice on it, grimacing, moaning, etc. - smelling like Christmas potpourri! (the smell comes from using Tiger Balm®), being laughed at by my family and everything else that goes with it.
Amazingly, it seems that going bowling with our youth group on Tuesday night helped the pain. I thought for sure that it would make it worse! Starbucks (Pumpkin Spice Latte) didn't hurt it any either. We have received giftcards from several different occasions and it is always enjoyable to ME to go there without emptying my wallet. My family could really call it "Sixteenbucks!"Well, I guess I better go mow the yard since (for the first time ever) I received notice that our yard was unacceptable to our Home Owner's Association! It is really not that high - but it is definitely higher than I normally let it get.
Thanks for those who prayed for me - it is so much better.

Ya know, you should have asked me about your back. We studied in anatomy at Dallas that Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes and bowling are just the cure for a back that ales... lol!
Is it ailes, or ales?? I think with an 'i' is correct... I dunno, we didn't study English, what's a mortician need with English??
It is ails! That looks so funny, but I looked it up in the dictionary. Next time, I will call you so you prescribe the correct therapy. Seems that morticians do like to write on blogs....so English could come in handy!
Well, now "ale" might come close to being the right word...especially if connected to the Pumpkin Spice Lattes.
Glad the sore back is better.
sjb
I'm glad your "ail" is taken care of and you're feeling better.
It is good to hear that you are pain-free and almost as good as new, Bro. Holley! A good cup of coffee always helps.....no matter what we might be dealing with, hm? *smile*
Glad you are finally feeling better. I hope you still are after your drive to Wichita Falls.
