I see you are on a roll posting recipes JB ;D How your neck holding up?
-
Ha, thanks CC, neck not too bad due to physio, but sciatica has reared its ugly head again which = strong pain killers = me being zombie. I had hoped to get all the recipes in the 3 Spanish books translated by Easter, but no such luck. Crap weather doesn't help either ... I also want to have the time to actually make some of the recipes as well.. Refused to take pain killers today, hence on a roll!

Oh noooo sciatica, poor you.Totally agree with you about the weather >:(

Julia, have you gone to a remedial massage therapist for your sciatica, It usually works in one treatment.
Very easy to treat.
Sending hugs.

Hi Robyn, when I had a very bad bout of it a couple of years ago I went to a local McTimoney chiropractor and they did wonders, although it took five visits and had to walk across a snowy field to get there. Unfortunately they have now moved out to some barn in the sticks and have no way of getting there.
What I am getting now is nowhere near as bad as before and is gradually getting better, so taking less medication. Thanks for your concern ;D

Well it's good to hear it is not as bad as it used to be JB - don't push yourself with the translations, slowly does it if you are not feeling the best. It does help to take your mind off it by doing something though doesn't it ;)
-
Thanks JD, it certainly is much better, but sciatica or no sciatica, I cannot loll around doing nothing, plus I forget my Spanish if I don't keep reading. Even when we had our two weeks of summer last month, I sat out in the garden revising Spanish grammar. The next recipe I am going add, I shall actually try and make today :)

Julie, if I was closer I would treat you.
Hope you are ok.

Julie, if I was closer I would treat you.
LOL Robyn and I think that if I flew over to Australia for treatment, my sciatica would get worse sitting on a plane for that length of time. Always vowed that if I were ever to go down under it would be by boat. Might take a lot longer but at least you can walk around ;D

Rolling around on a cricket ball helps to relieve the build up of pressure, on the floor, as do stretches.
Hope this helps.
-
However do you roll around the floor on a cricket ball :o :o Picture please Robyn ;D
-
JD, quite easy..... :D
Lie on a hard floor with the cricket ball at the pressure point for sciatica in your butt.
It does help.
Sorry JD, Crazy but it helps relieve the pressure.
By the way, I am a remedial massage therapist too.
-
You are a very talented person Robyn, one who can cook too ;D
-
Oh Robyn, thank you! Sorry, did not spot your message, but thanks for advice :-) Never thought of rolling around on balls will get one when next time I go into town. I agree with JD, you are very talented. Thanks again ;D
xx JD
-
Off to cook now... :D
-
Robyn I wish you were near here. I've had great success with remedial massage in the past but it's quite if fickle getting an appointment around here and working full time makes it impossible.
-
Wonder If I was closer to you, i would treat you too.
I mainly do family now, as I am in our shop 5 days a week. :)
