Several years ago I fell and injured my back. All has been well until the last year. Things have been increasingly worse so we (not the royal we, just myself and spouse) had the Dr. check it out.
Then it was off to The Spine and Pain Clinic of New England. We did a test several weeks ago and another one today. In May I go back for one more try to get the problem resolved.
As many people in America, I am working for health insurance. I have to show up each day but by the time I got home it was just to try anything to get the back to ease off.
That meant not much sewing going on each morning although I did manage to get my siggies made for the Blog Siggy swap and they were mailed out on Tuesday. I haven't been able to get my usual blocks prepped each morning for hand work in the evening.
Fortunately I had already prepped the Noah's Ark blocks and I am pleased to report that they are done and assembled.
Yesterday I was looking around for something else to stitch in the evening and my GFG came to mind. Vickie and I had laid out the flowers and they were all marked and ready to assemble. I now have that beside my chair for a time.
Who knows, perhaps the next treatment will work and I will be back to my old self.

Ouch-I've had some back pain, so I can commiserate with you and wish you well. Here's hoping they find and fix the problem quickly.
Great job on Noah! Looks like you got yours together without a hitch. Hope your back pain goes away; that's no fun at all.
It is a beautiful quilt - I love the colors you have chosen for the sashing. I hope you feel better soon.
Well done on your Noah's Ark blocks, Suze! I'm so sorry to hear of your back pain and the restrictions it has put into your life. {{{{hugs}}}}
Hopefully in time, and with rest, you will recover fully and enjoy pain free days again.
I hope your back gets better very soon!! When you retire is there some sort of Health Care program that you can get - you can't work forever -- there is too much quilting to be done!!
I love the Bunny Hill patterns - I am collecting them to do "one day"
I wish you luck with your back - there is nothing worse than not being able to move without pain.
Your Noah's Ark blocks look so nice. I really enjoy the Bunny Hill BOM. I am collecting but I wonder if I will ever do them?
Love the quilt. Hope you feel better soon.
Love the quilt! Hope you feel better soon!

I can't imagine having chronic back pain. I so hope it can be resolved soon.
I keep thinking I'll get around to doing the Noah's Ark blocks - I think they're so cute. Hope your back gets better soon. My daughter has back problems and it's so painful. blessings, marlene
