Ok, so today marks the end of the second round, and my back is on its way out the door. I don't know what happened, all I know is the hot spot is growing and I have been here far too many times to not know what is about to happen.
If it goes, I'm looking at 10 days minimum of not being able to do anything, and by that I literally mean it. When my back goes, it disappears.
I feel like a total slacker by not being able to keep up (the back thing started last night, so yesterday was out as well - and this morning it just escalated). But on the bright side, every single movement I make, from breathing, to attempting to walk a few steps is extremely taxing.
I'm taking it easy with ice and heat in an attempt to stave off the inevitable disappearing act, but I don't think I'll make it through the night.
Please don't feel like a slacker. Back issues cannot be helped, and you need to take care so that it doesn't get worse. Take as long as you need and exercise-wise, just do what you can when you're ready. If anyone is a slacker here it's ME. I've been cleaning out the apartment, organizing stuff.... and watching Animal Hoarders. That last part is the definition of slacking... when you're reduced to totally useless tv shows.
