Good morning everyone ...so sorry to hear about the back touble everyone ...what I learned about this from the nun (an nurse) who used to visit my sister in law ...it helped me a great deal ...make sure your bed/chairs and drivers seat are all very firm.Sagging matress/lounges and car seats can cause a lot of aggravation to pinched nerves as they throw your back alignment out. Your feet should rest on the floor and not dangle (I am fairly short and that happens) so if you cannot adjust that, place something under feet so they don't dangle. Don't spend hours on the computer it is not so good for the back ...so if you have to (or want to :) take frequent breaks and walk around for a few mins. This also applies to folk who work at desks or drive all day ...you must take breaks and walk around ...gently stretch if you can. Lift (if you must very carefully and with bent knees ...never brace the knees! ) Well I took her advice and it helped me a great deal, I hope you all take good care like Shari said ...we only have one spine ...please look after it.
look the Strelitzia has opened it's pods (sorry can't zoom)
Happy gardening everyone!
