The Things You Take for Granted

This is not a philosophical post. Just a bit of whining.

Mid-afternoon, yesterday, I was doing some dishes when I felt a little twinge in my lower back. Within seconds, I was in pain. Moving, sitting, standing, all causing pain. Moving from sitting to standing is nearly impossible. And bending over? Unthinkable.

I immediately took some Motrin and plugged in a heating pad, but as of this moment, a nights sleep and several doses of pain “reliever” I have had no relief.

You don’t realize just how many times you bend over, sit, stand, walk, reach, go to the bathroom!! (ugh) until you can’t or it causes such pain. Diet coke is my morning coffee. I can see it there on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, pushed towards the back. Teasing me with it’s nearness. Yet unattainable. Damn it!

I am afraid that it is going to be a very long day!
