I'm a big fan -don't know if my last comment posted...so...<br />I'm an artist, fellow glogger (bneibart.blogspot.com - come see: there's cartoon insects, great moments in art history, pathetic love affairs - almost everything you need to cheer you up!), <br />paris lover (I'm taking my son in april - it's been 19 years since my last visit)and sciatica sufferer. couldn't sit in the car, constant pain - I got up one night and right leg totally gave out - numb. Dr. gave me Voltaren (sic), said cause was arthritic changes.<br />When I started to work out (ab exercises), it completely went away. <br />I wish you all the best!

I can tell you first hand when I saw her drawings I was absolutely astounded at how spot on they were! I am sorry I have not gotten around to this sooner, but having you as a patient was absolutely the highlight of my day! One of the best patients I ever had. I actually printed out the sketch and I am trying to show everyone I know at every opportunity!You are extremely talented and I wish you the best. I forget how many readers you told me you have... but add one more in me!FDNY EMT Brian Riverahttp://brivera821@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-3830948251748795082011-01-30T18:33:11.382-05:002011-01-30T18:33:11.382-05:00THANKS Tammy,

I've had sciatica issues, and you are wonderfully upbeat, given the pain and discomfort.<br /><br />I did a teacher training with Judith Lasater in London a couple of years ago. She is the preeminent expert on restorative yoga. I can confirm that it would truly be worth your while to look into this type of yoga practice, which as you probably know by now involves a deep degree of relaxation (which in turn triggers some profound physical responses). <br /><br />Ideally, you could meet with a restorative yoga teacher who would teach you poses specific to your issues. It's the kind of thing that really should be demonstrated, as you'd be using rolled-up towels and other such props. You can find a directory of yoga instructors who've trained in restorative yoga. <br /><br />I wish you all the best in recovering--and mastering the art of the tart!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03437876558716264896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-7015473540503444812011-01-30T04:07:49.961-05:002011-01-30T04:07:49.961-05:00This must be the month for emergency room visits- ...This must be the month for emergency room visits- and if Martha Stewart can document hers, so can you!<br />I wish you a speedy recovery.aquarosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18084968331351192931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-54318102657833331152011-01-29T23:41:37.746-05:002011-01-29T23:41:37.746-05:00Oh no, Carol!

I was working so hard on the Sketchbook Project for the Brooklyn Art Library...the deadline was last Tuesday 1/18/11, and I was hunched over working on it for many days. On MLK day, I was off work and got up at 7 a.m. to utilize the day for art. While brushing my teeth, my back just went OUT, and I was immobile for the rest of the week. I think all those hours bent over my artwork produced the immobile back--I can so relate! I hope you feel better! I just love your artwork and blog.<br />Jill HJill Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-61441476103875069882011-01-28T22:40:02.250-05:002011-01-28T22:40:02.250-05:00Oh my goodness, Carol.
