squishy jelly
See those two pictures? That’s what’s going on with my back. Imagine your spinal disc is a jelly donut … painful ones are squished and the jelly is leaking out. Non-painful ones tend to be whole & the jelly is all inside where it’s supposed to be. So, we’re aiming for the left side picture.
So what do I get out of this experience? Time with my sweetie, a reminder to stop and let her take care of me, and a focus on gratitude for all that I have. My sense of humor helps when the pain gets really bad …. when you remember to laugh instead of cry.
So, breathe, love, and laugh - through it all.
