Of all the things that have ever happened to me I must say that ranking in the top 20 most inconvenient things is injuring my back while working out.
Yep, congratulations to me, I did another awesome ridiculously silly things while trying to be helpful or productive. Nothing quite makes you feel bad about yourself like pulling your back while you are merely trying to increase core stability. Either way, for me it ended up in a week off work and more visits the to UCC and more prescription drug than I care to really mention. Fortunately, everyomne was understanding, including my saintly boss, and I spent a lovely week at home on my bed under the influence of muscle relaxers and mild narcotics. Oh, and then there was a physical therapist who were very investigative and made my bad mad…and then the next day made it all better!
I did have time to start reading a lovely N.T. Wright book although I cannot say that I remember much of what the book has been about. There was also a church retreat on top of the mountain yesterday during which I laid on the couch and was quite nauseous thanks to the curvy drive up to the top. Cherie and I went grocery shopping today and I have been pain free for the most part and came backto work this evening. Another PT appointment tomorrow so hopefully that will help even more. Apparently I have some mild disc compression going on and some joint isn’t sliding right.
Other than that, life here is lovely. I have discovered that I have too iron everything here because I have no dryer. Also, saving my pennies to buy a car since I am tired of taxis and being home bound…I want to be FREE!!! Typical American, I know. Oh, and I have also lost 5 kilos so that is good news as well.
Oh, and I have decided that I need a real camera so that I can take pictures of this place that actually do it justice…oh well, after the car and smart phone.
Also, time to start planning my trip to europe this summer in June…for 10 days. Yep, life is good!
