We were up at Oh-Dark Thirty this morning because we had an appointment at the torture chamber commonly referred to as “the gym.”\u00a0 We managed to lap down our coffee in order to to get the hearts started before departing.\u00a0 We left Scout behind\u00a0 doing his job guarding the backyard from stray elephants!<\/p>\n

My trainer worked on my back as the sciatica has been giving me fits for the past week.\u00a0 Mary rotated between all the pain-inducing mechanical equipment.\u00a0 Even though I was face down on the floor, I could triangulate her approximate position in the gym by the yells, moans, and screams!<\/p>\n

We escaped with our lives and ran into the Ralphs Market next door before they could find us.\u00a0 We got milk and some other goodies.<\/p>\n

We headed home because our masseur was due at 11:00 am to continue working on the back!\u00a0 He worked on my back for a good hour, and it felt very different.\u00a0 The sciatic nerve is a real pain when it goes south.\u00a0 When he started by left leg was about two inches shorter than the right due to the nerves being tight.<\/p>\n

\"\"

OUCH!<\/p><\/div>\n

The sciatic nerve helps you feel sensations in your legs, including the back of the thigh, the outer and back part of the lower leg, and the sole of the foot.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Double ouch!!<\/p><\/div>\n

The sciatic nerve also connects the central nervous system to the legs. It originates in the lower back and runs down the back of each leg. Damage to the sciatic nerve can cause numbness, tingling, and weakness in the legs or knees. If left untreated, numbness and weakness can become permanent.<\/span><\/p>\n

I worked in the office, sitting down the rest of the day until it was time to go to dinner with Dianne’s family on “the hill.” While sitting, the trusty computer reminded me of days gone by when it showed the following:<\/p>\n

\"\"

Mary is at home with Scout, The Wonder Dog.<\/p><\/div>\n

She loves to cook, and we made a pot load of baked apples as well as applesauce\u00a0 in the last few weeks!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Applesauce anyone?<\/p><\/div>\n

Dianne’s family found a fantastic B&B up on the hill overlooking Orange County with a view from downtown LA to almost San Diego!\u00a0 They cooked up some lasagne, and we ate, drank wine, and shared stories!\u00a0 It was a lovely evening,<\/p>\n

\"\"

After dinner, stories.<\/p><\/div>\n

The view from the dining table was amazing.\u00a0 The local High School football stadium is in the distance.<\/p>\n

\"\"

It’s a fantastic view.<\/p><\/div>\n

I parked just adjacent to the building and was a tad worried about falling off the face of the Earth!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Do you see my shadow?<\/p><\/div>\n

The white house (mansion) at the top of the hill had a view of all of OC.<\/p>\n

\"Wow!\"<\/p>\n

We headed home around 8:30 pm and crashed; I needed to ensure the leg had a good night’s sleep!<\/p>\n
