Yesterday we had a family visit to the Hancock Museum in Newcastle. Our little grandson Joseph loves anything to do with the 'Gyptians' as he calls the Egyptians and having a week's holiday from school, we decided we would take him and his parents there. Daughter Julie also joined us as she had a few days holiday from work - so a nice family day out ....
I have a long-time back problem, and on the morning before leaving, I managed to turn the wrong way and completely knack my back ! Took extra pain killers and decided I would still go. The museum is a brilliant place to visit and is free !! We were able to park, with blue badge, at the premises so that was a great help as I was still in pain and could hardly move even with the help of my stick and my son's strong arm ! ...
It is a long time since I had visited and I was surprised at the renovations which have taken place since then - very modern and seats in every room :)
After a few hours there we decided to head back home and fortunately I got back in time to see Andy Murray win his quarter final match in the French Open Tennis tournament - well done Andy - keep going !!
Hardly slept at all last night with the pain and had to get up completely before 5.a.m. this morning - when you have bad back problem, bed is the worst place to be ... so taking it easy today as I am still hobbling along and have to use my stick indoors ....
Hope it goes within a couple of days - it usually does - and I am used to it by now .....

The visit to the museum sounds fun and neat. Hope your back gets better soon.
Glad you had a fun time (or as fun as you could with your back out) and I hope it gets better soon!! I know what that's like as I've put my back out a few times. One thing that really helps me is those heat pads that you buy at the store. They heat for eight hours and you stick them too you. So they heat your back for eight hours and they move with you so you're always getting heat. Helps a LOT!! Get lots of rest for it too!!
Yes I agree Julie - I have tried those for various things and they are excellent ...
Glad you know about them then. And I really hope you're feeling much better by now. Thanks for following my blog too!!
