For those who don’t know, I have had surgery on two levels of my lumbar spine. Both my L1-L2 and my L5-S1 discs are fused, and unfortunately those procedures haven’t helped much with pain. I also have aches in my upper back and shoulders. So the chronic pain is bad, but the worst days are my laundry days.
Let me break it down: I bend and lift. to get my clothes out of the hamper and put them into the laundry machine. I bend and lift to move them to the dryer. I bend and lift to hang my clothes back in the closet. All of that is really, really hard on my back. So I basically need to reserve one day out of the week as Laundry Day and only Laundry Day. It knocks me OUT. Can’t do anything else the rest of the day. It always feels good to get it over with, though. And then a week passes and there’s laundry again. There’s not a single chore I hate more than laundry. But I did my laundry today and I’m freeeeeeeee!
