mini-update

Okay, so even with all this damn pain, I doped myself up enough to go get a haircut, because, damn I needed one. So did Brian. In about an hour I can take more Vicodin. After that I will get up again and try to get some pictures for all of you who won't be seeing me in two days

And you shouldn't, but you may have to change the timing somewhat. In direct contrast to what I was told when I wrenched my back lifting things many years ago, today's advice is to move as much as possible without causing acute pain. Movement is GOOD. Staying still in bed for six weeks is BAD. If you can get a massage at the Bash, you will come out miles ahead.

Just keep doing what you ordinarily do, just carefully, perhaps more slowly, and let Brian do the lifting (you should still be bending when you can). Alternate cold and heat, push liquids, and feel better soon!
