59 - Laid Up


59 - Laid Up, originally uploaded by carolfoasia.
adjective
- Suffering from or affected with an illness: down, ill, sick, unwell.

Woke up with a cold. Then, I felt a back spasm coming on (maybe caused by yesterday's 15 mile ride in freezing temps, doing the leg curl at a higher weight, or not stretching and taking a shower after my bike ride home from the weights). George came home and massaged out the opposing muscle that was pulling the muscle that was spasming and set me on the massage table (a must for those with back issues IMHO) for a moist pad heating.

This is using my self-timer from below the massage table! It did the trick, and I walked away without my back going out!

  3. Wow, I think I might feel just a TAD sore if I attempted such a feat. At first I thought this was a halo brace! Whew! Very fun.

  5. Cool idea and very well executed! Love your smile. I was on one of these tables yesterday. I've aggravated my herniated disc ~ went in for therapy and an adjustment. Hope your back is feeling better.
