You can't :) So here are some tips for you: First find a chiropracter that knows how to adjust your spine for costchondiritis. This will start you on the road to recovery fast. Next, don't slouch or slump over ( which I had to learn not to do)- that aggravates it. Sleep on your back (I had to learn to do that too). And do stretching exercises several times a day where you hold your arms above your head and stretch up as far as possible making sure to move your ribcage up too. Now if I twist wrong and it starts hurting, I go back to the chiro and he adjusts my back and I'm all better:)But when it is time to mow, tell your son you are in pain and let him do it:)Melodynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474288599028176114.post-76953380012738916952009-05-19T06:21:00.000-04:002009-05-19T06:21:00.000-04:00Send gifts to India, online delivery of flowers to...Send gifts to India, online delivery of flowers to India, gift to India, chocolates, cakes, watches, teddy, sweets, fresh fruits and dry fruits to India on the same day.<br /><br />Please visit: <br />www.indiafloristnetwork.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695378508989135975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474288599028176114.post-79979836751914714122009-05-18T22:19:00.000-04:002009-05-18T22:19:00.000-04:00Darla, I hope you feel better soon.

I watched strangers do my jobs in and outside my home. I hated it. So I kind of know how you feel but you better take it easy for now.

I remember well the pain of that injury. For me, it was rolling over in bed while asleep and forgetting how much it hurt. Had to curl up into a ball until it subsided. I still do not flip over in bed, but very very carefully adjust positions. At least you had some nice weather and plenty of blooms to speed your recovery. Get well soon.<br />FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474288599028176114.post-42587601545496743532009-05-18T16:52:00.000-04:002009-05-18T16:52:00.000-04:00Poor Darla!
