Hi Everyone!
It's Tuesday and that means we are all meeting up with Bluebeard and Elizabeth for the T-Party. Today I am a bit all over the map. I have been battling some sever pain in my hips and low back. I finally got into the hip doctor, she reports that for my age my hips look great. Ya know, on the ex-ray. Then she did a physical exam of my hips and it turns out I have bursitis on both hips. REALLY???? She said the injection is very painful and wanted me to go home put heat for 10 minutes then massage the area to the point of hurting. I have a 6 prong Shiatsu massager.

After 14 miles we come to the small town of Mapleton.  |

Back home potatoes are pushing through the dirt.  |
This pot of potatoes is going for it.  |

Beans that I have in the little green house.  |
A nice start on this salad mix.  |
And here is a smoothie made with 3 kinds of frozen berries, beetroot powder, and ground flax and chia. I can't tell you how good this is. I don't like milk products in my smoothies so I add a bit of cold sparkling water.

Your smoothie looks delicious and refreshing.
I loved seeing the pics of all your plants. It's so fun to watch them grow.
Sorry to hear about your hip pain. That sounds really awful. I hope the injections and massage work and give you some relief.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
Hi Nicole, sorry you are going through so much pain. Your plants are looking good, and your smoothie looks really delicious-Happy T
Sounds quite painful indeed- I do hope it gets better with each day. How fun t se the plantings grow.
And oh my, I would love your smoothie! Wishing you well, and happy T day!
That smoothie looks out of this world!! YUM! Nice to see your plants coming along.. I need to do more planting but just haven't felt the urge.. I have a couple plants that i'm just trying to keep alive.. Happy Tday!!! Hugs! deb
I know nothing about bursitis but I hope it's the kind of thing that can clear up and go away.
Bursitis is very painful, I have it on my right knee- Hope it cntinues to get better for you. Valerie
...ah,aren't the golden years marvelous?
I hope your hips keep getting better, but a cortisone injection seems to be what really works, and it is no fun!
Hope your back feels and stays feeling better soon Nicole. ice to see your plants sprouting. It is exciting, isn't it? Your smoothie looks good too. Have a great T day. hugs-Erika
I'm glad it's treatable. The massage sounds nice :) My seeds haven't sprouted yet, but I got a late start with them. I don't drink smoothies, though I do like eating the fruit. Happy T Tuesday!
I hope you continue to feel better! That massager looks fabulous and I loved seeing all your plants starting to sprout 😀. Your smoothie looks so good too! Take care and Happy T Day! Hugs Jo x
Oh. I am so sorry. I do hope you find a "cure" soon. Sounds awful.
Your drink looks great, though, hmmmm.- best wishes and hugs from here
The smoothie looks delicious and very refreshing. I like the addition of sprakling water instead of milk or yogurt. I hope your hip pain will go away, that certainly doesn't sound like fun at all, and I guess it is also limiting you in your gardening. Not a good time for that right now.
Delicious looking smoothie. Hope the pain doesn't come back tomorrow.
Sorry to hear about your hips, sometimes I feel like mine is grinding in the socket but of course they say nothing is wrong lol That massager looks the business! Hope you get some relief. Nice to see your plants, I just checked my potatoes and they are looking about the same as yours Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx
I hope you're feeling better. Your potatoes are a little further along than the ones Himself planted. Looks like you'll have lots of delicious goodies soon. Your smoothie sounds so good. I need a new blender. Happy T Day
Good to hear the massage works and your back feels better.
Congrats on the nice start of your potatoes and beans plants :-) Have a nice week!
I am so sorry for your hip pain. I hope it gets better quickly, or that you find a way to treat it. It is no fun. I am 76 and hurt just about everywhere! LOL But, it is never so bad I haven't been able to live it. I hope you can get some help. Your berry smoothie looks absolutely scrumptious! Happy t day!
So sorry about your hips! Smoothie looks delicious. :)
I couldn't leave a comment yesterday, no matter how hard I tried. I gave up. Happy BIRTHDAY, dear. I wanted to tell you yesterday because I have it in my calendar. Sorry about your bursitis. I've never had it, but I have a form of arthritis that I was born with. I hope the massager helps.
Your garden pots are already looking good. I haven't even started most of mine yet.
LOVE the looks of that smoothie. It looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing your random photos and your smoothie for T this belated Tuesday.
YES!! It took today!!!
I’m sorry to hear you’re in so much pain. I hope the massage thing helps. Heat does, I know that. Try a TENS machine if you happen to own one.
I love seeing your plants starting to pop up. A promise for later.
The smoothie looks very refreshing indeed.
Happy belated T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
So sorry to read of your painful hips - I hope they get better soon! I loved seeing your plants growing - we are going to attempt to grow some salad leaves and pea shoots on our balcony this year! Your smoothies sounds fantastic, belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
