Damn! Double Damn! The general doctor thinks my back pain may be due to disc issues, not muscular in nature. He’s put me on steroids (thankfully, given my reactions to steroids it is a lower dosage short course) and bedrest for the rest of the week. This is not exactly the time off I’d envisioned while considering when to take some vacation in the last couple of days. I’d like to be able to do something, rather than do nothing but at the same time I know I have to take it easy. Attitude adjustment: I can read and knit.
