Hey... remember last week when I strained my back?

Well, I'm home now, because my back decided to scream at me today at work when lifting up a lighter weight puck of aluminum... still heavy, but far lighter than last week's load.

So... I can slowly stand up and sit or sqvat down... but I can't qvite fully stand, and while I could hold a load against myself with manageable pain, I was near seeing stars when trying to hold a load at arm's length... so...

Home for the day... hot shower had (felt very good)... heating pad on my lower back right now as I sit here, and if the pain does not subside, then I'm heading to the ER later tonight.

Asprin is taking the edge off, but not really helping, and I'm not drinking anything, for now.
