I feel your pain. You need to alternate hot wet compress then cold wet compress. For a hot wet compress, I use a diaper and get it wet then put it in the microwave. This will stay warm for a while.You can also use a wet towel. Then use ice packs. Heating pads are dry heat and are not good. I have a bad lower back that when I lift wrong it goes out and the pain just kills me. Good Luck to you and I hope this will help.

Hope you feel better soon!

Think of the downtime as an investment in your future health!! Maybe you'll be more likely to take it easy that way.

chloeandj · 07-29-2009, 07:50 AM

OH I hope you are feeling better very soon!!

FlDebra · 07-30-2009, 01:55 AM

Just seeing this thread and wanted to add my wishes for a quick recovery. I know how bad back pain can be.

Hope you are feeling well by the time you read this!

One year for hot compresses, we were given by my aunt a towel that she had sewn up with rice inside. Apparently that microwaves well too. (Not that you'd be in to sewing up rice-towels, but for future reference)

Hope that you get to feeling better! Back pains are the worst!

My mom makes "rice socks"! I thought she was on the only one on the planet.

You basically can just fill a tall tube sock up with uncooked rice and tie it off at the end. Then, you microwave for anywhere from 1-3 minutes, depending on the size of the sock and amount of rice. It works very well in a pinch.

She would go halfway across on the the monkey bars, then scream that she couldn't make it, so I had to catch her. How stupid was that?

So now it's payback time. I got a cortisone shot last week and have been resting ever since. I feel much better. I will probably have to keep my website closed for at least another week, though. Sitting is the worst thing for a bad back and I haven't figured out how to make bows lying down!

hi Marj, have been on a week long vacation and just now reading this . .you are sooo bad but I probably would be doing the same thing

. .hopefully you can get better soon as I know your bows are well loved by everyone . . .Now don't cheat and get a full rest . . . .don't even think of trying to do it lying down

mnewco · 08-06-2009, 06:33 PM

I am interested in purchasing some bows from you. Please let us know when you are up and running.

Wanted to know which of your bows would be good for Niyah. She doesn't have much hair because she only weighs 3 pounds so her hair is thinner. Granted that her former owner kept her in a puppy coat and now is growing out. Maybe once it is long and I need to actually make a knot, it might be thicker.

Please let me know what you have for thin hair at the moment. Right now, the ones that I got for her at Petsmart have a small ring to it but it takes a wrapping of 4 times to get it to stay in tight when she shakes her head which is pretty funny because she only does it after I put the bow in.

I did try dressed bobby pins and hair clips for a child but she shakes them out in no time.

Marj:

Fergus and i are wishing you speedy recovery! Our new groomer told us today she just LOVES your bows (I brought my box of bows!) and I gave her your web address. He is wearing one today and looks like a little prince!

Hope

you are back and "on your tush" in no time!

Kenna · 08-07-2009, 05:10 PM
