Well Monday was another chilly start to the day but by the afternoon the bright sunshine had warmed the temps up to the middle 70's which made for a great day to be outside and thats what I did watching a crew of 5 men take down the big oak in the back yard. More on that later as I started the day with my usual routines after a sleep less night due to pain in the right leg from the sciatica and lower back issues. Nancy was off early to let Rocky our daughter's dog out and to feed him as they are away from a basketball tournament with their daughter Ava in Jacksonville, Fl.
I started the day with my usual routines that begin with some quiet times to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for healing and comfort including my self. I'm still fighting this back pain and sciatica pain in the right leg, but I'm hoping the chiropractor will help me cure this issue as we had a visit scheduled for adjustments.
We had to be in St.Pete for a chiropractor visit at 10 AM so after she got back from the dog visit we got ready and headed out after a lite breakfast. The chiro has me feeling some what better but I'm still not totally healed but feeling better with no meds through out the day. I'm looking in to acupuncture as the next line of treatment if these adjustments don't help. The pain in the right leg seems to get worst after a shower and then going to bed so last night I decided to do some stretches before retiring and then to lay on my stomach once I got into bed, well that surely helped right away, keeping the pain out of my knee and leg through out the night. I did find myself later in the night sleeping without severe pain in my leg while on my side and back. So just maybe I've solved this issue and hopefully on the way to healing.
When we got back to the house after the chiro visit and a stop at the library we noticed a huge truck with a crane sitting in our yard and in our neighbors yard who was not happy about the tree folks using his yard without permission. After a few harsh words they seemed to work things out and the tree folks went to work taking down the oak. The crane was the way to go in removing the upper most limbs of the oak lifting them over the roof top of the house and they had the trunk down and out of the yard by 4'ish. They are supposed to come back this morning and remove the sawed up tree from the front yard. That tree at the base was 4 feet across or more. I'm sad about the tree because it provided shade during the heat of the day but now thats its gone we hopefully won't have any more sleepless nights during storms when we are away and will hopefully cut down on the squirrels that find it favorable to them and their diet of acorns and digging in my garden for ones they have planted, oh well. Nancy and the neighbors are extremely happy the tree is gone as well, LATER
