…pinched nerve in lower back and Well, THAT doesn’t look straight.

Seems the muscles on the right-hand side of my mid-back are pulling my spine over to the right.  Need to figure out what I’m doing wrong so I can start doing it right.  He said I could be sitting, standing, walking, lifting, sleeping wrong.  I said it was probably all of the above.

Had my first adjustment today.  He took it easy on me b/c it was the first one, but I definitely felt looser afterwards.  I could go every day just for the percussive massage and the electronic muscle stimulus w/heating pad.   Ahhhh…..

Pain.  Dull.  Sharp.  Burning.  Annoying.  Bad enough to make me take a dopey pill and stay home from what SHOULD have been my first night back at knitting @ Starbucks tonight.

I shall be on restriction from the computer for a while, limiting myself to a mere 10 minutes at a time every few hours.  That might not sound like restriction to you, but for the likes of me, it is (remember the unmade bed in that last post?).  The reason for this restriction is that I have determined that the jacked-up computer chair is a MAJOR contributor to my pain.  Hence, it is to be avoided until we can get a new chair.  I’ll have Hubby start keeping his eyeballs open for one at work.

If you have any suggestions on another way to set up the laptop in light of my funky power situation in my house (I DO, however, have a wireless router, so any room is OK.  There’s one family member who’s been known to take a laptop into the bathroom, but not moi.), I would GREATLY appreciate the suggestions.  Of course, I won’t be on the computer much, so you’ll have to know me well enough to have my home phone or cell phone.  Oh, well.

Step One = Knitting

Step Two = Felting (and drying, I suppose)

Step Three = Embellishing

[Why YES, that IS a library copy of Godless in the background atop my unmade bed.  How good of you to notice....]

Almost done!
