I woke up with bad back pain so I won't be doing much today. It feels like a ball of pain in my left butt and it makes my whole lower back and left leg hurt.

is that sciatica barbara?
ouch!
sounds painful.
we went fishing today.
rented a small boat (little bigger than a canoe) and bought crickets and big succulant worms.
I actually caught a fish a blue gill. Jeff caught a baby catfish who was so cute! I will try to post the fish, jeff will that is.
It was nice being on the water and doing something different.
the weather was really nice. 85 not humid, small breeze.
saw egrets, baby alligators, a big hawk that jeff took a picture of and will try to post that as well.... he was in a near by tree preening.
After turning the boat back in we fished off the side of the bank and I feed the minos...that is fun they like worms! We ended up letting all of the crickets go because we weren't catching any fish.
Headed back home it was only an hour away, it was an anniversary day so no fishing liscense required to fish and free entrance to the park.
We said next time we would go and rent kayaks...

barbara i hope you are feeling better by now, at least with the back.

bizi what a great saturday! it sounds like fun. i don't know if i could go fishing. i would feel sorry for the little fellas. i'm glad you let the crickets go, lol.

abbie good luck with the new meds. fingers crossed.

pam hope you got some sun and were able to go out after all. I recall times in FL where it would rain and there would be sunshine at the same time, lol. of course that doesn't help not getting wet.

mari i hope you are feeling more together by now and were able to have a relaxing day.

i am mostly better (back/neck/mood) but got my menses this afternoon and soon after had a mild half hour migraine. woohooo! i thought i was out of the woods but noooooooooo! evening i got hit by THE BIG ONE. it lasted all night. pills did very little. i slept on and off through it but at some point got up and had coffee. i think that helped more than the pills. caffeine is a vasoconstrictor and used in some migraine and pain preparations. i think i will probably go see the neuropsychiatrist my pdoc recommended about getting a triptan for my migraines because the dose of ibuprofen i need to treat them is very high now (600+ mg) and causes some problems, not to mention does not always work. that will be a ways off though as i have other medical stuff. sigh. always something.

i don't know what i'm going to do today (Sunday here now). it's well past sun up. maybe try to get a little more sleep for starters.
