10:05 PM 12/13/2008 The most important problem takes precidence; I've had so many problems the past few days that my back problems are the least of my worries. I traveled to Marquette, MI for some important personal business. ACCOMPLISHED. But, in the getting upset (needlessly) ... I may have incurred another minor stroke: I have a doctor's appointment for Monday.

Indifference3:48 PM 12/14/2008 I must be feeling a bit better; I've been taking ibuprofen quite a bit today. I did force my self to take it easy today and mostly watch T.V. I was going to town to pick up some things at the grocery store and at the FAMILY DOLLAR ... didn't. I was going to go get my Christmas tree up in the woods today, before it got cold again ... didn't. I may work on printing up my Christmas cards.

10:16 AM 12/15/2008 Just practicing my typing before I go off to my doctor's appointment. IT'S MUCH BETTER, NKT GID,'' Oh, well.

Doctor 7:20 AM 12/16/2008 Just practicing writing. No news is good news; my doctor didn't find anything wrong ,,, except SOMETHING IS WRONG. She has some tests scheduled for me Thursday. She doesn't want me to be taking so much Ibuprofen regularly. I am supposed to be more concerned about liver damage & do without the pain tablets.

Making a new entry; typing is still screwed up. I gave up & had some Ibuprofen ... & just now took some 8 hour Aleve.

I didn't go to the chiropractor this week ... might not. I have to drive down to Green Bay to the dental clinic. My back has caused me to take one prescription Ibuprofen after another ... more than the 2-3 per day advised.
Pill I took one at 8 ... doesn't seem to be helping much.

2:22 AM 12/5/2008

Indifference OKAY ... I did the Green Bay Dental Clinic thing; my back is just so mad at me. Back to bed.

5:29 PM 12/5/2008

My back has been bothering me so much today. I finally dragged myself off to town to do my banking, shopping (the Eagle flew over) ... bought some ALEVE ... like I usta take. Even with that ... I just cannot concentrate ... MY BACK HURTS!

2:09 AM 12/6/2008

Ouch WELL ... THE ALEVE JUST DIDN'T DO IT! I even took another Ibuprofen ... still I've been in agony for the past many hours. Cannot sleep; no kind of stretching, etc is helping to reduce the pain. Finally gave up lying in bed, sleepless. So ... I am sitting at the computer with a little snack ... and some linament (internal AND external).

I didn't get to the chiropractor this week ... I'm sure that is part of my problem. I have to go at least once a week.

Too Happy 2 My THANKSGIVING DAY went well; I spent the day with friends & their large family. Sitting, visiting, surprisingly, really makes me suffer. But, I've learned to pack some pain pills in my pocket where they'll be handy. My back is a bit stiff this morning, but I don't think it's too bad.



11:08 AM 11/29/2008


Pill Now, after several pain pills ... sitting in the lounge chair for several hours ... I'm ready for the day. My back still has a sharp ache about half way up, mostly on the left. I did do the dishes, got my December budget printed out & figured out for when the Eagle Flies next Wednesday. The sun is shining; do I feel like doing something outside? I don't need to go to town for several days.



12:07 PM 12/2/2008


Ouch I cannot believe that my back is giving me so much grief! BUT ... looking back ... there were times in my life that excruciating pain was the problem ... not just the gripping aches & stiffness I have now that is more of a nuisance & aggravation. Thank Heavens that I can get high-dosage prescription Ibuprofen on my Medicade.
