Google Has Replaced My Doctor Now

Google has replaced my doctor now. I try to get up and my back screams YOW! I have to think about it, every move is an ouch. I want to climb back into my mother’s safe pouch. But she is safely tucked away in heaven now. And I am stuck in this world where an ow is an OW. My back is shrieking with every flicker and move. I am no longer able to dance, shake it or groove. Googling back pain for my age is sobering I’ll say. No matter what, there may be pain every day. Because I need to stretch, which I no longer do. I guess I’ll start tomorrow, wouldn’t you?

Caren, I just got back into yoga, ouch! Back into my mother's pouch, cute! Kangaroos have such large feet, lol. Hope you can get "back" into stretching. Happy Holidays!
