Health Update- Physical Therapy Once Again

Hi everyone!

I have begun physical therapy for my lower back. Both the doctor and the therapist noted that my spine has a curve in it. The therapist told me we can alleviate the pain however I will need to support my spine- with pillows or back pads and so on when I sit.

I would appreciate your prayers because I slipped and fell in our bathroom this week and I don't know how this is going to affect things.

**************************************************************

It always feels like one thing after another for me to deal with. It is very discouraging. No matter how hard I try to improve I do stupid things like slipping and falling. I can't get ahead of my own bad luck.

Once my back is ok something else will happen, yes I am a pessimist but that is how the pattern goes and it's hard not to expect worse instead of better. Thank God I have Justin, he has been so patient and helpful during all this.

*********************************************************************
By the way, does anybody know of a shampoo that is better than head and shoulders? I do have a bit of dandruff, but it's the burning itch that really bothers me. If I wash my hair and let it dry on its own, or go to bed with it damp it will be dry but have a burning itch. If I blow-dry it it's not as bad. So many times I have been far too tired to blow dry my hair, but cannot stand it being dirty any longer and I wash it before bed. The next morning I end up having to rewash it and blow-dry it due to the intense burning itch.

God bless,

Need More Fluffiness?

Ok, so I have an obsession with fluffy birds. I just adore it when my parakeet Zoey fluffs up her feathers.

Anyways, I noticed a distinct lack of "fluffy bird appreciation" so a while ago I started up a little tumblr blog of fluffy birds.

Go enjoy the absolute cuteness here!

God bless,

Samantha

This beautiful young lady is a second cousin of my husband's. I needed to try out some new equipment and she kindly agreed to be my model so I could practice.

I REALLY enjoyed working with her, Samantha had an ease and a natural affinity for posing for the camera. Getting such genuine smiles is always the goal!

A big thanks to Justin's Aunt Marianne for letting us have the sunflower from her garden too!

Hair Cut and Health Update

Felt it was time for something different. I have to get used to the bangs though... lol

My hair is soooo thick and heavy so I had it thinned and layered as well. The lady who cut my hair could not get over just how much hair was swept up after!

Regarding my health, I went to the doctors this past week, turns out I have low blood pressure and that makes me more sensitive to heat. I can't even take hot showers anymore :( It is nice to know that is why I feel so sick and weird after a shower, but now I have to get used to colder showers. Oh well!

I will be starting physical therapy next week, I have been having weird back pain. The doctor noticed that my spine is curving to the right some. I fell when I was a young teen while roller blading and couldn't sit for a long time without pain. My doctor said I possibly bruised or fractured my tail bone. I would appreciate your prayers that physical therapy helps!

It never ends!

God bless,
