My last entry may have mentioned something about my back hurting.
Since that entry, it grew difficult to stand and sit because of my lower back pain. I went to a two hour class, finished up, stood up, and promptly had trouble walking afterward. However, because Ada is the size of a postage stamp, I walk everywhere.
That's a big-ass postage stamp to walk across when the effort of walking causes you to stop every few minutes for a respite from the pain, periodically screeching in agony, into the cold Ohio night. Alone.
(cue the piano solo, your key to knowing when to feel sympathy for our protagonist)
I actually resorted to drugs, which you may be aware: I never do that. I bought some Alleve, which usually works on me like morphine. It took three hours for the pain to subside, so it may not have been the Alleve at all, I don't know. Basically, it sucked.
Better this morning, but still hurts. I walk like an old man. I'm carrying an umbrella today (rain last night) and I'm trying to avoid using it as a cane. Because, y'know, it's not a cane; it's an umbrella. I'm going home now to lay on my back for the next two days. Don't expect any updates unless it's to beg for more sympathy.
--12:16 PM, EDT, Ada, OH, yes, I am pathetic, thank you
