and the fact is, I've been pretty lousy lately. It's my lower back that is giving me problems, just as it has given me problems off & on for 3 decades. I've been hurting for 2-3 months now and self-medicating with anti-inflammatories that the Doc had prescribed when my rotator cuff was torn up a couple years back.
But that script ran out and I didn't have the meds for a couple weeks until I got in to see the Doc last week. He had X-rays taken, checked me all over and pronounced me with a bad back- big surprise! He also prescribed 3 fresh scripts, an anti-inflammatory, a pain med and an anti-spasm med and a neoprene back brace.
In spite of the meds and the brace, I have still been hurting most all the time, some times less than others but never completely comfortable. So I've been taking it easy, reading Angels and Demons, watching Yogi Bear cartoons while I try to stop fretting over the yardwork and car repairs that are going undone outside. I also had to buy 4 new pair of larger pants so that I can wear my brace under my clothes!
I sure hope that this back problem heals up shortly because when I'm hurting, I'm cranky. And I don't like being cranky!
