My Back

My doctor thinks I likely herniated a disk in my lower back, on December 26th.

I've suffered a similar injury in a similar location  before, but a short round of steroids seemed to power me through the worst of it in a week.

No such luck this time.

A full month after I hurt my back I'm  still slightly delicate when standing or sitting.

My mind plays tricks on me, though. As I come out of the proverbial woods, I keep thinking i will hop back up when all is healed, only to crash to earth as the reality of ALS sinks back in.
