My Aching Back

Well, after straining my back yesterday, I've lied in bed nearly all day today. I've used a combination of ice and heat and really haven't moved a whole lot. I did have to get up and pick my daughter up from school. That may have been a mistake. I was scheduled to work today, but there was no way I could have. I'm sure they all think I just wanted a 7-day break (after my 4-day weekend in Vegas), but I really did throw my back out. I do have the next 2 days off, so hopefully can rest most of each day. I did intend on getting a lot of yard work done, but I'm afraid it will have to wait. Such a shame to have wasted 3 great fall days. I may go to the doctor tomorrow to try and schedule some physical therapy. I can't believe this. The last time I threw my back out like this was in 2006 I think, but it wasn't this severe. The last time I've been in pain like this was 2000. Ugh. My damn back. I'm so mad at myself, although there was no way to know this was going to happen. S%#t!
