I haven’t needed a remedial massage since arriving home. My back gave me no pain for 4 months when I was travelling. I attribute that to walking every day.
Yesterday, I lifted 2 and a half year old Caelin out of his car seat. He’s no lightweight. Normally I would carry him close to my body but I still had him high when I stepped backwards and slipped.
I did manage to stay upright but in the process I must have jarred my back. By late afternoon, I felt the familiar pain in my right buttock and hoped my spiky ball and a good night’s sleep would do their job.
I only pay half of the fee but it’s still not cheap. But I hate pain …
In my retirement, I enjoy editing for writers other than my children. My main roles are Editor of the Challenged and True Travel Tales. I also like to write.

❤️ Hi Adrienne, oh, no!! Thankfully you caught yourself and didn’t fall. Hope you are feeling better after hot stone massage. I tried this - thankful for the gift and appreciate how expensive it can be.
Oh no!!! I'm so sorry you are in pain. Lifting kids is no easy task. My 6 yr old still likes me to pick her up sometimes and man is she heavy. I need to start hitting the gym if this continues. I hope you get some rest and heal up soon. <3
