I did something that launched me into 2 months of pain in my back and shoulder. It hurt so bad I couldn't get out of the bedroom and had to call my husband to come home. I pretty much spent the day knocked out on pain meds. After a week I gave up on the idea of "making it up" and just let it go. Next year will be better.Juliehttp://www.countingmyspoons.comnoreply@blogger.com
