Default My hidden chocolate has done me in

As soon as the Easter chocolate came out I went out and bought some of my favorite, Hersheys candy coate chocolate. So i had a couple of bags in a sack in my closet and I went in today to get some. My back went into a huge spasm and hasn't let up. So I am being punished!!!!!! So along with the chocolate I amd taking extra Aleve and a heating pad.

I find that huge doses of Hersheys help spasms...

Ok second opinion time. As your official second opinion I concur with Dr. Twink. I recommend you stay in bed for one full day and have someone (you know your support system) yes they have to feed you 2 pieces of chocolate every 20 minutes. Believe it or not I hear foot rubs help back pain too. So does watching others do dishes. It is amazing how many things can be cured with the sight of someone else doing the dishes!

I'm trying to get oer the idea of getting candy home from the store and into the closet. Wow! I have candy wrappers in the car, and the rest is gone before I get my boots off.

When you buy enough it isn't hard to get some home. I love Walgreens. Thye always have 'theatr' candy at $1.00 a box. So I usually up at 4 - 6 boxes. Then you put in the Hershey and Cadbury mini eggs and some Walgreens brand orange sherbet and you are set!

you know Doydie, you need to rearrange your thinking on this...the chocolate didn't cause you the spasms....therefore you can't be punished for wanting your hidden chocolate.

The closet needs to be rearranged by your lovely assistants in the house from whom you NEED to hide the chocolate from. AFTER they rearrange it so that your hidden chocolate can be easily accessed, your lovely assistants will buy and install a lock on your closet door.

So this wasn't a punishment for you. It was a serious REMINDER to your lovely assistants to get this job done so that you can remind functioning!

I hope I have provided profound assistance to you!

Peace.

now maybe it was because you bought easter candy at full price, instead of walgreens, like the other day here, we bought a bunch of 75 percent off valentines candies...oh yeahhh even dove candy, and the fancy ball candy hubby likes, and we got the kids some big choco hearts...so cheap it all was!!

I even shared as you see, maybe the closet or the choco did not do you in, maybe the choco gods knew you were not thinking of sharing any of it hahhaaa

but really sorry about the spasms, lay back relax, eat choco, and take aleve...

I was just put on baclofen for my morning stiffness/spasticity and loving it wow what a difference this morning I walked downstairs NORMAL, not in severe pain and tears!! hugssssss

Hey Doyd! Don't blame the choccy; it's a cure all for what ails you.

Next time, keep it out in the open and handy!

Hope your back feels better soon. Take two Doves and call me in the morning!
