Quick note
Hello Ladies,
Just a quick note to tell you that Monday August 15th I leave for my trip to NJ. I will be there till the 22nd . I am really excited about it. Besides getting to see family I haven’t seen in awhile, on Weds the 17th I will be going to Atlantic City with my cousin Kathy. She lives in a retirement community that has many activities. This trip to AC is one of them. For $37 you get the bus ride, lunch and you get to see a show. On Sat afternoon there is a party with a lot of the girls I went to HS with. In between there are many relatives to see. Also I hope to get to see Lindaheff. She lives in the same town as many of my relatives and where I will be staying.
For the past week I have been suffering with sciatica. Very painful. I have been doing some exercises that I found on the internet. They are really just like the stretches I do in Yoga. Yesterday I went to LA Fitness, where I am a member, and went into the spa, then into the pool for a little while. I think it did some good. I need this to go away before my trip. Ibuprophen helps also.
Just wanted to let ya’ll know in case I don’t get near a computer while I am gone. I will be thinking of you and praying for all of you.
Love and hugs,
Anita

Dear Anita
Hoping your sciatica is better before you leave for NJ. xxLinda
PS I wrote you a message
Dear Anita: What fun you are going to have! I wish you would go to the doctor regarding your sciatica, before you leave. When I was pregnant, after I delivered the baby, I ended up with sciatica. I saw a chiropractor and got some relief immediately. Your Atlanta City trip sounds like lots of fun! Don\'t you love to get together with the high school crowd? I look forward to that every time I visit my hometown. We go out to dinner and laugh the entire evening about old times. I hope that you get to see Linda Heff too. What fun that will be.We will certainly miss your cheery encouraging posts while you are gone, but we will be praying for you to have a great and safe trip. How long do you plan to be away? Will your grandkids have started school yet? They will certainly miss you! Love, XOX Susan Wales
Hi Anita, Just have a great time! I hope your sciatica disappears soon but do check-in with a doctor if it\'s not better by Friday; you don\'t want to have trouble on the trip. Hopefully the heat will have disappeared in New Jersey. Our record-breaking streak of consecutive 90 degrees days ended when it only hit 89 yesterday. It\'s very nice today. Perhaps the east coast is getting the same weather. In any case, NJ has to be cooler than Texas. Again, have a wonderful time! xxJanet
Susan, It actually feels much better today. I think the trip to the spa did some good. Chiristian is starting kindergarten this year on the 23rd of Aug. The day after I return. Heidi is not going to any pre school this year. She is only 2 and a half. Sara said she may put her in some sort of dance class, since she starts to dance every time she hears music.
Janet. According to the forecast for NJ, is should just be in the 80\'s. That will be a relief to me since we have had 100 degrees here for the past 10 days, and no relief in site. We are still in a dought. 16 inches down for the year. It is always hot here, but this year is exceptional.
Hi Anita! Have a wonderful trip! Sounds like you headed towards more heat! Oh well, at least you get to visit all your friends and family. Enjoy!! Take baby steps while walking so you don\'t aggravate the lower back..:) love and purrs
OPPS! I said \"more heat\" but actually the 80\'s are a relief to 100!! Yikes! I\'m silly but anything over 65 is too hot for me! lol Have fun!!
Hi Anita! I hope you have a fabulous trip - sounds like you have lots of fun actitivities planned! And how wonderful that you and LindaHeff may get together . . . if you do, please give her a big hug for me.
Re your sciatica: my mom (who is in her 80\'s) just suffered her second bout of sciatica earlier this year. She went to physical therapy which helped a lot, but before she could do that, she had to let the nerve and swelling recover a bit. The dr gave her some medication which helped with that, although it did make her sleepy. Because of other meds she is on, she can\'t take ibuprofen, which her doc said would have helped her in the early stages. So it sounds like the spa and stretches are the right things to be doing, and I hope you get more relief from this very soon.
Bon voyage and safe travels!! love and hugs xxx LuEllen
Hey enjoy the cool like weather then Anita. LOL
Sounds like you might need a jacket when you get there compaired to what you have been experiencing in Texas. Enjoy your vacation!!!
Anita, I hope you have a wonderful trip and that your sciatica just disappears! Keep stretching.... Have you tried any of those heat patches? I know sciatica isn\'t muscle-related, but wonder if you relaxed the muscles around it if it might give some relief. Just a thought. Safe travels. (((hugs)))
