Rain, rain go away
Come back another day

Yeah it been raining here for 6 days now, we need the rain but some sun would sure be nice .

 

[Tia]

The sun came out for 2 seconds and then disappeared again.

 

[DeafDucky]

I love me rain and thunderstorms

 

[LoveBlue]

Figures, when my dishwasher is out of commission and I have to do the dishes by hand, the view out my kitchen window is a mud pile.

 

[Tia]

How do you pull a muscle leaning forward to look for your slippers? Man, I must get back to the gym.

Dh: What are you hungry for.
Me: I feel like a hamburger.
Dh: You don't look like a hamburger.

I was going to say I bet you don't look like a hamburger ! LOL!

That's crazy. That's super cool. I wonder if this was doctored.

Maybe, if there is a video somewhere... we can see if it's doctored or not.

That easy to do if you sitting on your bed and leaned over, when I was a health aide we had back safety classes b/c health aides get a lot back injuries on the job.
We were told never to lean over and reach for something , we squat down by using our knees to pick things up and walk around a table or bed to get an object and don't lean over to do it. I hope you'll feel better soon.

How many times, I wonder, did he missed while learning this?

It's fine now, thanks. The thing is, I can't squat, my knees won't let me.

Oh that too bad , you could try to buy one of those stick you use to pick thing up , not use what you call them.

A grabber? Great idea, thanks

 

[whatdidyousay!]

Yeah I guess that what you call it , I had clients that had one b/c they couldn't bend down or reach things.

I think my mother-in-law uses one. I really should look into it. Bending down can make me dizzy too.

That not good you don't want to fall over while bending ,you could also get a shoes tree and hang it on your bedroom door and keep all your shoes in that and others things to save you from bending down . I had an uncle and aunt that were very short and they owned a mom and pop grocery store , they had a real long grabber to get boxes off of shelves .

 

[Jane B.]

Years ago I had an Osteopath (DO rather than MD) tell me that not twisting while bending made more difference than what you were trying to pickup.

I do have a "grabber" but use it for things on a high shelf rather than have to get out and climb a stepstool.
