Seems my life has is more of a rollercoaster ride than anything else. Things had been getting back to normal. I was writing, Dad was back to his routine, JJ seemed happy to be walked and stay around us. Then I went to work Monday and all of it went out the window.

I went to lift a printer off the floor and pulled the muscles in my back setting off all sorts of pain. I hadn't seen stars or pain levels like this since I had originally hurt my back two years ago. Tuesday I was barely moving but by Wednesday I had decided enough was enough and went to see the doctor. He increased the pain meds but didn't give me a muscle relaxer. Needless to say I've been drugged and sleeping nearly none stop. I had a doctor's note to stay out of work until today. I tried to go in and nearly passed out when the back spasmed on my way to work. Considering I couldn't take anything that wasn't the best plan. Came home instead. I am off the weekend and don't really intend to get out fo bed and just let the back heal. Hope this is just a temporary set back.
