Title: Pointless Self-Indulgent Whinge
Post by: clarion on 28 May, 2008, 01:57:03 pm
I've got a bad back.

It's been in spasm, and really ouchy, and it pigs me off.

Today is better, but rolling over in bed was slow & painful.

Sitting still is OK, but moving is horrid.

Wanted to get out on the bikes today, but I can't.  :( :( :(

I Pinched a nerve when I was a student just by putting my shoes on to go to the gym :-( The physio was nice though.

That's good advice - I shall avoid going to gyms from now on*

Was getting better - enough to get the bike out, but, just as we headed out the door, the heavens opened :(

Then snuggle up on the sofa and watch an old movie.

I limped back from the farm after devouring some home made cake and a cup of coffee and a pleasant hour with a friend.  I did manage to purchase some Aspall's cider and some Needham Market Pride for the guys who stay over on the Suffolk Ride.

Glad things are improving.

Can I have a pointless self-indulgent whinge, too? 

Cos I feel mouldy, and I never usually get ill.  :(

And today there has been quite a lot of  :sick: and much self-pity.  :(

Roll on feeling better tomorrow...

Currently waiting for the Prodigal Son to appear. :(

Hope you're doing better soon, too...

Actually, being curled up in bed with fluffy pyjamas and the interweb isn't as bad as it could be. ;)

I get that occasionally. It's horrible. You end up looking at people doing simple things like picking something up and thinking: "You lucky, lucky bastard! you don't know how lucky you are!"

It's true.  The simplest thing, but it's so limiting.  The word I've used most has been 'Stupid!'

The floor has never felt so far away. :(

I used to get bad backs regularly - an occupational hazard for stage crew - but I forgot what it was like...

Good luck mate.

Keep active, take some pills for a while, don't let it get you down.

Fingers crossed.
