September 26, 2008 – Prattling Before the Pratfall

Back waiting with debated breath

Got back a while ago from my back’s MRI. Films won’t be read until Monday. I can’t keep up with everybody’s comments, other than to approve them, because I’m about to plop myself down in front of MSNBC and wait for the debate to start.

Backing in

I’m at work today for a few hours, giving my chair a trial. Seems to be OK, although I’m making a point of sitting a lot straighter than I used to.

I’m having a lumbar MRI done this evening. I’m told that if the condition isn’t serious it may not be conclusive about exactly what’s wrong, which I guess is sort of good.

I can now appreciate why some desperate souls might actually look at spam mail with subjects like “PAIN KILLERS.” Percocet really works. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to get out of bed in the morning.
