rough morning

I called in sick today because my back hurt so bad this morning (pain level 6-ish). I wasn't sure if I'd even be able to get around. I felt like one false move, and I'd be crawling on the floor like I was after trying to lift Justin's piano. But I took a double dose of my meds, stretched, and took a walk, and I felt things start to settle down a bit. And I've been able to have a reasonably active day with only the usual level 2-3 pain.
