I started out this day rather slowly; I had a big project on the computer that took several hours. I did some kitchen projects ... cooking cleaning. I sorted clothes ... altogether nothing very strenuous.
Late in the day, I did spend some time outside, weed wacking & watering. I made sure not to do too much.
My back is loose, only mild aching. I have had some aspirins & some gin ... have been sitting in the lounge chair.

Another busy day where I didn't do much of anything important ... no outside projects ... just putzing .... GUESS WHAT???? MY BACK FEELS GREAT!!!! Now, if I could just afford a someone to do my projects around here! I haven't even gotten around to resuming my housepainting from last fall.

Last night, I tried doing a second shift to finish a small project ... kept at it until after midnight ... finally quit when it sounded like too much work to go down to the basement to get a larger drill bit.
I fell asleep on the sofa, slept well, just got up now. It took some time rolling around to different positions & stretching everything to want to stand up. It was a real chore to take the dog outside; I'm going to have to go lie down for a while yet.
My left hip has moderate pain; I cannot stand upright. My lower ribs, esp. on the left, have slight pain. The base of my neck is more of a discomfort. My mid back, just below the ribs & the lumbar region are starting to develop real pain as I move. TIME TO GET BACK TO THE SOFA!
Maybe, I can force myself to start the coffee pot, first?

BREAK TIME AGAIN ... the major things that I did was a sit-down carpentry project and sort out a drawer of papers ... NOW ... my lower back has a lot of pain.
I took some aspirin, having a gin drink, and will put on some lininment and sit back in the lounge chair for a while ...

WOW ... DID I EVER RUIN MY BACK YESTERDAY !!!! All I did was to go to a Fourth of July celebration. There, all I did was to walk around and sit a lot here & there. I came home early because my back was bothering me. I laid down for a while, and, because there was no point in trying to do anything ... I went outside to sit an watch some friends who came over to construct their hunting blind. At dusk, I decided that I just wasn't up to driving over to Alpha to see their fireworks display!
Instead, I fell soundly asleep until 5:30 this morning, then, went back to another sound sleep until 9!
All that I accomplished so far all day was to get the dishes caught up.
My mid & lower back has such extreme pain that I have no hope of trying to do too much today.
I have been wondering if those steroid injections (lumbar facets) have worn off??? Also, I was wondering if the new & not very delightful problem with my right shoulder & arm (weakness & pain) would be from a pinched nerve? From my base-of-neck pains???
