"If you have low back pain, one of the best treatments is something you can do yourself. Exercise." This is the first sentence in the document that Dr. Endsley gave Lou when she asked him what she could do at home for physical therapy. He gave her two simple exercises that I think will really help her regain her strength and reduce her pain. She was very pleased with her meeting with him. He gave her a prescription for a better back brace that she bought and has used very successfully tonight. He also recommended a better chair for use in her office and said that the stair climbing is also good exercise. We then went to OfficeMax and she tried several chairs before selecting one that will be delivered and installed tomorrow. When we came home our road had been graded so it was a little smoother to drive on. Lou was worn out but felt good about the days activities. We ate lunch before the Doctor's appointment at the Town Crier restaurant and both of us had Teriyaki chicken that will feed us tomorrow also.

If an apple a day will keep a doctor away, what does half an apple do? We always share an apple every night although Lou forces her's down and I wondered how effective it is. Would a whole apple each be better?
