I took things very easy yesterday and my back is very grateful for it today. I spent most of the day lying on the bed. It was boring as frell, but the best thing for my back. I did manage to get through a good chunk of my "to be read" magazine pile at least. Mr Moo was kind enough to stop at the store on his way home from work to buy me a heating pad. I spent the rest of the evening with it and Mr Moo watching the brain rot downstairs. Like I said, I was bored out of my mind all day, but the rest was exactly what I needed to do. While it's far from totally healed, my back is feeling loads better today. I still can't bend at the waist very far and looking straight down brings the spasms back, but at least I'm able to sit up without crying. Small steps.
