Back Pain


Since that unfortunate fun day episode- the one where I landed on my @ss during football- my back has been killing me. Last week I went to the chiro. Normally my adjustments make little click click sounds. Friday the adjustments sounded similar to a bat smacking a ball. Ouch.

Crack Crack (Hips) Craaacccck (Mid back) Crick crack (shoulder) and Pop (neck). The pain I had before the visit was nothing compared to the pain tidal wave that hit afterwards. OMG!!

Fear not - I handled it with the best pain management skills I have: codeine + glass of wine.  Most of it was gone by mid Sunday (the back pain not the codeine). But today, as I sit at my desk,  its (no pun) baaacccckkkkkkk. There is no latte strong enuf to deal with the stinging sensation.

Most count the hours until their day is done but I'm counting the hours until I can chuck pain killers down my throat! So be it if that makes me sound like an 'addict'. The way I see it, half the battle is just admitting it
