BE CAREFUL With your back !!

[Spixie33]

I can't say this enough but to tell everyone to really take care of yourself and your back.

I was having back pain on and off since I opened the daycare 2 years ago. The pain would come and go. I just took an Advil and powered through my days.

Then about 2 months ago I noticed my toes felt a little numb. I made a doctor's appt and she said maybe I needed more core muscles and signed me up to Physio.

The symptoms kept getting worse and I ended up in the ER and getting an MRI.

I found out this week I need a major surgery because my spine is being compressed by one of my disks.

I think it was caused by pulling kids in the wagon up and down our steep hills in the neighborhood and lifting them, bending etc. The doctors have said it looks like the spine of someone who works in the trades for a living or in a factory doing heavy work.

So...as I prepare for surgery I wanted to come and warn everyone to please be careful ....listen to your body and put yourself first. I didn't and now I am forced to.

Be careful, and protect your backs everyone
