Maisens scoliosis corner: august 2018

Long time since I wrote a chapter in my blog, but this summer has been so amazing 🌞
It has been the warmest and driest summer in over 70 years in southern Norway! Not good for farmers and nature, but my body loves it and I have less pain 👍

I love walking on the soft paths in the wood, and a long the river with my dog

I have not been much at the gym, because I have been sooo exhausted.
My physioterapist and my doctor agree that I have fatigue from having severe scoliosis all my life 😔So now I only go to the gym 2 days a week, not 3. I was so tired after walking my dog every day (wich of course is a must!) and excersising 3 days,- and try to keep contact with family and friends. The house is a really mess because it has come in the last place of what I should do.......

But I love all my flowers in the garden, and the tomatoes, chili and peppers 🍅🌹

I have not been away on holiday this summer (I usually don't because I go away in winter), but I was at the cinema and saw Mamma Mia 2,- very nice! We laughed, cried and wanted to sing and dance

This summer I have tried making something new and healthy,- have you heard of Kombucha? It is fermented tea and very good for the bacteria in our bowels 😊

Surf a Norwegian kombucha with Mango

Ask another Norwegian kombucha with Hibiscus

Scoby, the "fungus" that work in the tea to ferment it


My first batch, the scoby is in the bottom, the new scoby is in the making at the top, and the rest is Roibus tea, water and brown sugar

It is a new world, with lots of strange words: scoby, scobyhotel, batch, kombucha, fermenting 😏 I will try to ferment vegetables also later, very healthy.
Anyone else do this?

Dennis, my little dog has also loved this summer
