My Mind Says Yes

      My mind says yes
       My body, no

      Push and pull 
       pull and push
    
      Nowhere do I go

Not whether we win or lose, but how we play the game. Keep swinging, even if only in the mind and heart. The golden years. Yuck!

Use an incline, upside down board. Keeps me reasonable pain free, and walking. It works.

Oy... I feel for you, Kim. Sciatica is awful. Have you tried G-5 deep muscle massage? It's worked for many, many patients of chiropractic and osteopathic doctors. Hope it goes away FAST. ~ gw
