Meet Naomi, my new cuddle bunny! Isn't she adorable? I have 'borrowed' these pictures from my friend's instagram account (with her permission). Her creator / mother is Tracy who is technically my hairdresser, but after 8 years we have become good friends.
Tracy is aware of all our trials and tribulations this past winter and decided I needed some soft companionship to help during rough patches. Her name is Naomi.
She is crocheted with the softest yarn and is actually quite large. Most of her are those floppy ears but she also has a cute bum.
What the heck is that?
Anterolisthesis is an abnormal alignment of bones in the spine and usually affects the lower back. It occurs when an upper vertebra slips forward on the one below, leading to pain and other symptoms.
And that can look something like this.....
So it's going to take some time to settle down. My disc spaces are normal which is very encouraging! There are no signs of fractures or boney osteophyte bone growths which is also very good. Work on better posture, and lose some weight is always good etc.
My idea of selling the Spring loom is still being considered as even if I lift the loom up onto crates, I still sit on my stool and lean forward to do the tie up's. Right now, that hurts to even think about!
Hubby says to wait on a decision for now as it's very patiently waiting. Using the Megado means no tie up's to do at all and will at least keep me weaving.
I have no idea if or when this condition will progress? I did have a great aunt who had much the same arthritis of the spine and she lived to 100.
So I plan to downsize more in my studio, spin on my Hansen and work on resting my back.
This is my friend Tracy with Naomi.
