Because I Feel Like Whining A Little…

Remember that accident I had earlier this summer? I just wanted to whine a little that my back is still not right. Even doing the laundry is a pain in the -er- back and once the pain starts, it’s with me pretty much the rest of the day. Usually it goes away while I’m sleeping but during the day, I just can’t get comfortable enough for it to go away.

And 15 minutes of work is about all I can stand before I have to go sit down and let the agonizing part of the pain subside a little — well, enough to get back up. Yesterday, I painted a shelf for my upstairs bathroom and hung up my mirror and a picture and just doing those things (painting the shelf required sitting somewhere without a back) made me feel quite accomplished since the pain was unbearable. Needless to say that now I don’t have laziness to blame for my not getting my projects done in a timely manner — especially since I now seem to actually have energy and a desire to do things.

I must remember to see if I can find a cheap bar stool with a back to buy to take with me to my art class or I’ll never stand it, literally, when I go back at the beginning of the new semmester…and I have all of that new art to frame in stained glass. :p

   Darn, I was hoping you were doing a lot better since you hadn’t mentioned it in a while. Are you still getting treatment at all? Wish I could send you to my chiropractor, but he’s here in Michigan!

   Outside of having a pain med, no I’m not being treated for my back. They said that there’s nothing that can be done except waiting it out.
