CindyLou,
I pray that all that is wrong is some improper mechanics you used while recovering from your lumbar problems. I am so glad that your lumbar recovery is going so well, that is AWESOME news! I know you and your family must be so happy that this seems to be the one. I don't know if you saw a post of mine earlier; but to recap... when my hubby asked if I felt my old back pain and I said no, that I didn't think so, he started crying (tears of joy, of course). I then heard him over and over on the phone telling people about it. It was really sweet and just went to show how much my pain was affecting him as well as me. I can only imagine how much your family is ready to see you relieved from your pain. How's the grandbaby? Probably growing to quickly!

CindyLou:
I am imagining that you will be having the storm before it hits us tonight and tomorrow. We have a severe snow warning for tonight and tomorrow. One inch tonight and four to six inches tomorrow of the heavy, wet stuff. My neighbor has been kind enough to blow our driveway out most of this Winter. He has saved my poor spine tremendously.  I hope you are feeling better soon and I am happy for the results on your SI joint surgery so far. Terry Newton

Gee, I hate to repeat myself. It was 82 today but tomorrow will get cold again, back down to the low 70s. Brrrrrrr
 Hey, the truth be told, I'm a New York girl, born and raised. It's in my blood.

CL, how is your neck? I hope the dust has settled after your operation. Baby kisses and hugs do wonders for one's health.

ditto on wondering
How's the neck CindyLou?? I have been doing really good tho went to the Farmer's Market yesterday and loaded up a WalMart bag with fresh veggies and ya know I got that knot back in the same place near right shoulder blade and then the neck ache and headache.. so didn't sleep well last night. Also was diddling around with phone to chin and neck which is another no no..
Everytime I catch myself goofing up my neck with my bad habits I wonder how quickly it will turn into my low back situation or perhaps need surgery ... I still would like to take care of my low back first and then my neck.. You're that much more ahead of me on that one

Thanks all. If I attempt to dip my chin down to touch my upper chest, I get shooting pain down shoulder, arm and into my fingers. Guess what? I don't do that. Duh. Still keeping it at bay, but do have doctor appt. Monday with neck guy. Will bring most current x-rays. Hopefully, just need an injection or ??
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Me? I'm gonna go chase rainbows with my granddaughter. She's my new elixir......!Cindylou
