#4: Temporary respite from APs and GPs
My back is putting me in tremendous discomfort. For the uninformed, I sprained/pulled/something my back muscle, and as a result, my daily activities have been reduced to those that do not require any movement of the back, thereby ensuring that a previously trivial activity such as wearing shorts is sufficiently painful to ensue a tiny scream.
I'd like to attribute my very dismal situation to the countless hours I spent sitting vigil in a tour bus with less than desirable legroom trying to make myself comfortable. At this point in time, I'd also like the shift the blame to the petulant child seated behind me on the plane (Korean National Airline, not impressive) who demanded that i straighten my chair to accommodate his eating times (I know, I am just being unreasonable, but YOU TRY) and exhibit signs of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder.. I am not making this up) by generating movement large enough to keep my chair vibrating for 6 hours straight. Trust me, it was not a pretty sight. I think children like that ought to be put on tranquilizers and made to sleep for the welfare of the other passengers on board.
But I digress! My trip to the physician in a futile bid to alleviate the pain ended up in increased pain over the past day. Her massage, which was very violating I must add, is making me ache in places I never knew had muscles and that is probably a very valid reason as to my lack of productivity.
Or so I'd like to believe.
