• Wow! What an experience

  I am generally healthy individual.  I have worked with kids for so long that it is rare that I get the colds and yucks that the little and large pumpkins pass around.  Thus it is rare that I trundle off to the emergency room or doctor for much of anything.  My back was in such bad shape for two days that I was convinced there was something else wrong and this went to the ER after a lunch meeting on Friday.  A CT scan revealed nothing and it was all deemed a pulled muscle.  I haven’t had a pulled muscle, torn something that brought me to tears in years and usually it is an ankle that gets twisted and torn.  Finally, after 24 hours of muscle relaxants and mega doses of Ibuprofen, I can stand up straight and walk with only twinges of pain.  Sitting is still a problem so I won’t be writing much because my typing while lying down is less than attractive.  However I did manage to take the trash out and make coffee this morning.  For once, though, I won’t push it.  This being in pain stuff is not fun at all and I will take care until it heals.  Rest, drugs, rest, drugs.  A boring life but there it is.  I should be fine by tomorrow.
  And so it goes.
