Yum! I’m not currently at the address you have for me, so could I email my present posting address?

I'd love to have your address, but I have this sinking feeling that those are going to be pretty stale before they get there, and the fudge would be a puddle in your 100F+ heat right now.

You know, with all this new technology, you'd think they'd figure out how to email cookies, wouldn't you? Kind of a 3D printer for baked goods! (grin)

Merry Christmas, I do hope your sciatica is better, somehow I just know you're cooking dinner.

Annie

You know me too well, Annie!

Colleen, I've been meaning for a while to ask you if you're doing the Mckenzie exercises for sciatica?

The doctor didn’t mention them and I’ve never heard of them. Perhaps they’re more an American thing. I looked them up and there’s one I’ve done for years since the last major time my back went out, as the person who fixed me in the end did that. I’ve tried it this time around but it hasn’t helped. Perhaps I should work up to it on the easier ones.

Thanks for the suggestion!

YUM! Merry Christmas!

Actually the person who developed the method was from new zealand. Sorry about the typing. This is from my phone.

I wouldn,t do any ecercise without guidance from a physiotherapist qualified to use the mckenzie method who first saw my doctor,s detailed diagnosis specifying which discs based on my mri. Thats how it,s done here in israel. Different exercises have opposite effects and you might do harm to yourself. Attaching link

Annie your cookies are very tempting. That,s what i wanted to write originally. Lovely plate!

I need to get out my pretty Christmas platter and put out some cookies too! Thanks for the inspiration.

Kate, I have lovely platters that I only get to use once a year, so I have to drag them out and fill them up. I hope yours get/got used too, my family always expects the same serving dishes that I've used for decades and actually miss them if they aren't there.

Peppi, should I send you some? I'm betting you and Dad and Princess Emma got some nice treats yourself, though...

Thanks, Wintercat, and if you have any suggestions to help Colleen's sciatica and help her get back to cooking, then those should have first priority anyway.

Colleen, I hope you didn't overdo it with Christmas cooking and that you are getting better all the time.

Annie

I sure hope they're working, because you have to get back to the serious business of cooking and taking care of the kitties and making trips to Fiji with DH so I can see the pictures. You gotta get better!

Specific suggestions can do a lot of harm. Exercises that helped me might exacerbate another person's condition. Even exercises that helped me at one point in the past might no longer help me now and might even be counterindicated. Only suggestion is find a qualified mckennzie therapist after getting new diagnosis for present condition. The mckenzie method is very effective in most cases. Annie you're a sweetheart. That's my diagnosis.
