Slight Improvement

  Somewhat better ... after aspirins ... several hours on the sofa & several gin drinks.  My back is no longer at the crisis mode ... but is threatening to revert to that.

     I have left so many things undone ... so many just plain messes that I don't dare even think of doing tonight.

      Another gin, some more aspirins, sit at the computer for a while ... some strong liniment ... hopefully, then, sleep the rest of the night.

     My pain is still at the severe level, not as bad as before, but threatening to get worse.
