Is there anything worse then a sore back? I'm sure there is but right now, I'm having a hard time thinking of something. I have been nursing one ever since the dreaded near-death flight experience on the way home from DC. Being me, I've tried to tough it out with heat and advil, but it just wasn't getting any better. So today, I sucked it up and went to my doctor's office to try a little something stronger. Dr. Decker was on vacation, so I saw Dr. Zellman ( the sweetest little old man), who proceeded to perscribe me some amazing pain-killers and an anti-inflammatory. I just popped them, and can't wait to see how it works. He also gave me a couple new exercises to try. I'm feeling hopeful that I'll be on the mend in no time.
Bonus of seeing the doctor:
#1: GOOD painkillers. Completely kicking Advil's butt!
#2: 1/2 day sub. Although I love my students, I can't pretend to be disappointed to miss my first three classes of the day (especially 3rd period). I'm flying high right now, and NOT because of the drugs.
#3: Surprising my sister with a latte at work. Since I was getting my perscription filled right next door to Katie's work, I decided to take a stab at earning Sister-of-the-Year with a caffine surprise. I don't know if it worked with her, but her co-nurses were certainly jealous!

what about bringing your MOTHER COFFEE?! (not to mention good drugs lol)
it worked. i loved my latte, and honestly had been wishing i had one not 1/2 an hour before you called!
hope the drugs work out well, you seem optimistic about them at least!
That sucks about your back. HATE back injuries, makes it hard to sleep and really do anything! Kip sure seems to love his chiropractor. He swears by it.
