Crippled

With back pain.

I've had back problems for many years but since I had surgery in July 2003 I've had very few problems. I've been a good girl and kept up the exercising as much as possible, so as to keep everything in good working order.

Yesterday lunchtime, I bent over the desk and a hip muscle went into spasm. I was in too much pain to do any more work and spent the rest of the day bombed out on Tramadol. I'll have to catch up today, if I can sit long enough. I can't afford to be laid up for weeks, so I hope this is just a blip. Freelancing and back trouble are not good bed companions...
