Dunno what I did to deserve these fucking back spasms. I've not had trouble with this for a long time now, pretty much since I started working on strengthening the core muscles after the pinched nerve incident 4 years ago. Before that, lower back pain was a pretty regular problem for me. But especially over the last couple years, when I've done a regular gym routine, I've had almost no problems.
Then wham yesterday morning. I was fine at the gym and when I arrived at work. Stood up to go to a meeting at 10 am, and my back informed me that it was just plain fucked up. I don't remember tweaking it in any specific event. The ache was just suddenly there, like it always had been, and I just wasn't noticing it for a while.
The only explanation I can think of is that I got out of the morning gym routine while traveling to the PCA event. I wonder if I'm now addicted to the stupid exercise, and the bod is going to go into withdrawal spasms if I ever skip. Weird.
And another thing that's weird is counting back to realize that the pinched nerve thing was 4 years ago. Seems much more recent than that. I remember all the PT appointments that did me virtually no good at all, despite the best intentions of the hot young therapist woman. Seems like last fall to me, not three falls ago.
But then the 3 Sided Whole trip was 3 years ago, and that seems like ages back through the dim mists. Must be all the emails since that are marking the days and hours since then. Or my sense of time is just completely skewed, which is not unlikely, I'm sure.
