GRAND MERCI!
I am crazy for my new physical therapist - he gave me ultra-sound/accupressure/massage + heat yesterday.

JENNY- I set these up in my room at hotel La Louisiane (great light)
The 'pink' tea is really Permanent Rose watercolor - no way to boil up the rose petal tea in ma chambre..

An ultra-massage is so much better than surgery. I'm so glad to hear your good news! Here's to good tingles as you get back on your feet.
ReplyDeleteDid you buy the rose water / syrup from au Nom de la Rose? I didn't, and regret it.

ReplyDeleteBonjour Carol
ReplyDeleteSo.. pleased to hear your good news ~ and that your physical therapist is looking after you!!
Love the pink....
"All Things French"
love your post today with all the pink roses and the rose items. I grow a few roses mainly I am a pink peony person but I do like rose tea and rose jam etc. In the photo today I see the rose tea and it looks like a bunch of tiny rosebuds bunched together. Is it one of those flower teas or is it actually roses that open to make the tea?
ReplyDeleteI went on Au Nom de la Rose website but they just show the silver bag of tea not a picture of the buds/or loose tea etc.
Did it come from them? I have had the flower teas before but not roses.
so good to see you're in the pink again...but herniated disks -- not so much! Take care!
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous Rose painting in the blue vase. wow.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear you are doing much better and help came without surgery. Loving all the pink.
Carol I'm so pleased that you are in good hands and require no surgery. Herniated discs and several as you know are big deal, just impressed with your positive outlook. My oldest brother in a physical therapist, good person to have in the family. Sending you lots more pink wishes for good days with much progress ahead.

Mo surgery needed. Those are magical words, aren't they, Carol.
ReplyDeleteYour tribute to Pink is also quite magical to see.
Hoping that your ph. therapy sessions will continue to give you relief from pain and also help to strengthen that backbone.

Some things are just too beautiful to eat. No wonder poets and artists find them inspiring. For the rest of us mere mortals, they remain divinely delicious! (Love the watercolours by the way!)
ReplyDeleteStay cool,Carol. Therese
How goes it?
ReplyDeleteHope your on the mend
Stay loose

I was so glad to read about your MRI and 'no surgery' prognosis!
ReplyDeleteI am sure your PT will be of great help and you'll be your old self soon! The ultrasound treatments are heaven as I recall.
I am so impressed you have kept up your blog!
Best wishes for continued recovery!
Linda
I don't think we will ever run out of reasons to visit Paris.
ReplyDeleteI am dreaming up some now ---but who needs a reason? x
I am having one of those pastries ...mmm
So glad you didn't need surgery - when I had a herniated disc the doctor said it was either surgery or shoot me to put me out of my misery...love the pink...are they as tasty as they are beautiful? Cindy
ReplyDeleteNo surgery required! Glad you are feeling better and recovering well with your PT. Beautiful artwork.
ReplyDeleteI heart my Paris Breakfast ISPAHAN & VERRINE watercolors. Thanks again Carol!
ReplyDeleteI cut all my roses back but when they bloom again, next month, I must send you a photo of my "April In Paris" hybrid tea rose, it is planted next to my Key Lime tree.
Sorry to hear you're having back troubles.
