'pounces on the thread' hey kirin 'waves'

Howdy Star. How are you?

tired only got an hour nap, and had only gotten a two hour sleep last night but..i was to hyped up for event time to really sleep so here i be.

Work was hard today. I was so out of it. Didn't help my hip was in pain and kept trying to give out on me.

oh wow Im sorry Kirin and i know about the hip thing if i get to cold my hip starts to lock up and will give out on me..its why the roommate doesn't like me walking anywhere he knows is even remotely slippery and without him because if i fall there's no way for me to get back up easily..

*floats in*

*waves*

Hey Taiyo.

Star I have scoliosis.

...so do I.. my spine up enar my head curves so i have a hug hump there.. it makes it hard for me to straighten so my sense of balance is always off ..

It's my hip. And it's not as bad as it sued to be. Besides, it was my own fault I got it.

'blinks'..so you weren't born with it?

Nope. I carried a way to heavy duffle bag in junior high.

Ouch, Kirin. :(
That sounds awful!

...yeah i had a backpack i carried around..now i'm glad i couldn't stand a duffle bag when iw as younger..

There was an increase in kids with back problems when the backpack became a popular way of carrying heavy study books to and from school.
When I went to echool, we rarely were assigned more than 1 book to do homework from per day.
When my kids went to school, they were often expected to carry 4 or 5 heavy books every day!
Both of my able-bodied daughters complain of back problems now as adults.
Another common reason for women to have back problems is if they have children and carry them on predominately one hip. Tis better to switch up and give each hip the same amount of work.
Its all about symmetry!

I suggest a long soak in a warm bath with Epson salts to soak away some of the aches and pains.

I carried all my books in my duffle bag.

I've worked in daycare and have noticed the back issues carrying children. Though I would try to switch up what hip I carried them on I couldn't. I couldn't carry them on the hip that had the bend in it.

aww kirin I'm sorry to hear that 'huggles'

How is your hip doing now, Kirin? :(

Better, much better. I had this one massage therapist who would focus on my spine so it's not as bad as it used to be.

Nice..i know when i get muscles stuck or my backs particularly killing me I'll ahve the roommate work on my shoulders back because his bony self seems able to find all the knots and force them to flex enough to unlock.

I'm glad you're doing better, Kirin. :)
Having soreness is awful. :(

Yeah, working with no break will do that to you though.
