Back Pain

I had forgotten how painful my back can be. Time for a big pain pill.

About 20 years ago, when David was little, I pulled a muscle in my lower back. Well, maybe it's in the buttock muscle. Every year or so It reminds me that it can hurt! I wear a brace around my waist, mostly to remind me to be careful, not that I'm not aware of it at this stage of the game. It'll go away in a week or so, but I need to be extra careful till then.

MarkO and ,, prayed for me Friday night; MarkO and Jeff on Saturday. On Saturday Yve and MarkO, who don't know each other but both of whom I trust, asked me if I had seen my chiropractor. Oops! First thing Monday. Sunday Casey told be to put ice on my back at night and heat in the morning. Again, oops! I had been using my queen sized heating pad all night. I tried the icepack last night and felt good this morning.

Went to the chiropractor this morning. He did some tests and found out a few things that were obvious to me when they were done. I kinda wish I'd known to do this myself, it's so obvious. Back tomorrow for follow-up.
