Oh my aching back!

Ugh... I threw out my back on Friday morning. I've done it twice before. The first time I was picking up a suitcase off the bed. The second time I was cleaning the shower. And on Friday, I bent down to pick up my lunch bag off the floor. As you can see, I engage in some pretty insane behavior in order to cause this injury. Man... getting old really stinks!

If I could get x-rays, this is what mine would look like.

First things first - let's catch up on the food journal. This is as accurate as I can remember because most of Friday was spent in a haze of intense back pain. I guess I should note here that the past two times I've done this I've been able to down these lovely little things called pain pills. Not so much this time...
