Comments on: Friday Not-So-Fun: Back Pain Sucks! http://theuniverseandhumanstupidity.wordpress.com/2008/07/25/friday-not-so-fun-back-pain-sucks/ "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." ~Albert Einstein/// Welcome to my journey to self-acceptance, in spite of what my scale might say, what size clothes I wear, or what society (read: human stupidity) might tell me I "should" or "shouldn't" be.

It still hurts, but not nearly as bad. I'd say another day or two and I'll be right as rain. :) Cyn, I know I’m biased, but a LOT of things she does are cute! :D

I know it's harder to find chiropractors in the U.K., but there is also osteopathic manipulation, and osteopaths that do this are more common in the UK than the US. If things don't improve soon with rest and icing, you might want to check those things out. Hope you feel better soon. Can’t say enough about how helpful chiropractors have been to me.

Until I had the other three, I never knew what being the parent of a "normal" child was like. I really think it makes it so much easier that way. Because for me, that's simply the way it's always been. <strong>Mary,</strong> if I still lived in the U.S., that would be a wonderful idea. But alas, we moved to the UK 5 years ago and there's no way in hell I'd be able to get one of those beds shipped all the way over here! :) Catgal, honestly, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that she was my first.

I have chronic back trouble too, and I know it makes life miserable when it flares up. If/when you have the funds to buy a new bed (and if you don't have latex allergies), I highly recommend a latex mattress from the <a href="http://www.latexmattresscompany.com/" rel="nofollow">Arizona Premium Mattress Company</a>. For $1200 we got a wonderful latex mattress that we are using on top of our old frame and box springs. We just got it two days ago and it is already making a huge difference. If you call them on the phone, they will help you pick out the right mattress (and the guy actually gave me a little bit of a deal). They are slow (they custom-make the mattresses, and ours took about a month) and it's kind of pricey, but it was worth it. So sorry about your back.

But kudos to you for taking such good care of your family. Your right, I couldn't do what you do. Unless a person is put in a particular situation you have no idea how they are going to handle it. It sounds like you are doing wonderfully. New bed wishes to you and your hubby. Cat Sorry to hear that you are in pain. But kudos to you for taking such good care of your family.
