For the longest time I've been doing physical therapy and accupuncture.  The PT ended a month ago, while the accupuncture is still going on.  This week my back finally gve out on me.  This just isn't right lol !  Like all of you gals and guys on DS, we're all doing our best to get better, and that sure isn't easy lots of times.

After doing it all, I finally asked around and found a massage therapist.  There really are a lot of them in this area, but they're so expensive.  I figured it's worth a try and would scrimp it out of the budget, if that's what it's called, lol.  It's $70 for the hour, oh well, guess I can eat bread the rest of the week!

With table, blankets, pillows, cd, cd player and more in hand, in came Maria.  And what a massage!  I'd been told it would be a deep massage and it truly was.  So I'm planning 3 more visits hoping that the massages will break up the knots or whatever is causing my back to go out. 

I'm not saying it was a miracle and I got off the table jumping and dancing but I did get off the table without pain, so that's a good thing.  It's too early to tell if this will help in the long run or not.  I'm for sure hopeful that a little bit at a time, my back will be stronger.  Oh boy, hopeful and frustrated, what a combination *s*!

Hope you are all doing better... lots of warm and gentle hugs..!
