Nope. Flexeril finally kicked in. Plenty of pain but I'm able to stand and not fall or have back spasms.

I just was able to stand long enough to finally take a shower. I needed one badly. My poor wife. 😂
Morning Tim !

Just silly.


I do not scare easily.


If you do not have any of your tanks grounded then please get them all grounded asap. This really is something that is important.
Morning Chris !

Hot bath has been the best way to eliminate pain for me, so this may be the cleanest I've been in a while! 😅
Sitting from a standing position and standing from a seated position are very difficult right now. Trying to sit in a tub I'd probably pass out.

I did turn up the hot water and let it run over my back for a bit though.

Morning Tim !
Good morning!

Just took a Flexeril and IB about 30 minutes ago. I can feel the drowsiness of the Flexeril kicking in. Or the lack of sleep.

I'll pop in periodically today if I can.

I went see a chiropractor . A good one ☝️ . The first time was scary because I wasn’t sure how or what was going to happen but now it’s like the thing to do . Have you ever been ?
