Blogging with a Bad Back

Blogging with a Bad Back

Tuesday of this week (now it's Saturday) I woke up with a "crick in my back". I thought I was slouching at my blogging, buying and selling homes for sale Tucson, and didn't pay it much mind until the day progressed and I could no longer stand straight.

By the NEXT morning, when my legs started giving out with little electric shock spasms, I reviewed my options:

1. Go to a doctor and get pain meds and carry on

2. Go to a trusted chiropractor and see if there's something going on that needs fixing.

Number one was the easiest choice, believe me. But something told me that I'd better toughen up and take choice 2.

My daughter has had a friend in school for many years that I think "radiates joy". Lovely, lovely girl and family. Her father happens to be a chiropractor.

Long story short - I'm sitting with ice, or laying with ice, off and on now. It's my new profession - resting.

I'm in escrow with three deals right now but happen to have a window of time until next Tuesday. Hope that's enough.

I still can't walk.

Funny what you take for granted until it's gone.

Fortunately it's fixable - no arthritis, bone spurs, disc damage, etc.

Like Loreal says, "Because I'm worth it..."

I bet you're worth it, too.

Take care of yourselves this 2012. You're the best business proposition, the best asset, the best deal you could ever have.

And one more note...thank goodness for smart phones!

Happy Clients in Tucson, AZ

This was my clients Saturday morning when I handed over the keys to their new home. Well, not really THEIR home to move-into, but one to remodel and share with family.

They've been looking for over a year. Their criteria was tough: Under 40K, in a certain neighborhood, over 1000 sq. feet, and fix-able.

Phew! So believe me when I tell you it's "been a year". They tease that they were about ready to adopt me. :)
