Not surprising...

Yea, here I am again.  Not surprisingly, no one's looked at my post yet.  That's o.k.  It's still a place for me to use some of my 'creative juices' as they say.  Today's been a pretty typical day - nothing spectacular, nothing too exciting.  I think my physical therapist and then the radiologist that took my back x-rays were out to maime me today.  I wasn't doing too badly before I went in, but, boy, does it hurt since then!  The radiologist kept asking me if I'd injured my back or my tailbone.  Musta found something on the x-ray?  We'll see if the Doctor gets back to me when she get the report.  

Now I'm on a muscle relaxant, too.  Love the 'possible side effects' in the literature that comes from the pharmacy.  Things such as nausea, drowsiness, blurred vision, depression, numbness, etc. etc.  Really makes you want to take it, doesn't it?  My favorite tho was the line that said to be sure to tell your physician if you expect to pilot an airplane.  That's an every day occurrence for most of us, isn't it?!

Pain is an interesting thing.  It's necessary, but definitely unwelcome.  Sometimes you have a higher tolerance for pain than at other times.  Sometimes the pain is because of something you did, sometimes it's  because of something someone did to you, sometimes it's just because your body is getting older and doesn't want to work the way it did 20 years ago.  I could get philisophical or spiritual about pain, but you probably already know all those axioms.  Plus, no one's reading this anyway - so why bother?

So, I'll just ramble along randomly.  That's what this is all about anyway, isn't it.

Have a good one!
