The Spirit is willing, but…
Usually, I feel like I’m getting away with something when it comes to my back condition. While there is always a bit of pain, it’s not normally enough to change my plans. I work through it when it’s bad, but it is usually more like a dull ache all the time. You get used to it. Every so often, however, I am made to remember what the situation really is, and why the AF showed me the door.
I aggravated it again on Sunday night, playing a game of football in the living room with the boy. I knew I’d done something wrong as soon as I did it, and within minutes, I was twisted into the classic paperclip asana. I didn’t go paddling yesterday morning and I left work early in the afternoon to go to the chiropractor. (Dr. Bill Stillwell, local kayaker and miracle worker.) It’s better now, but still sore, so I didn’t go out this morning either. I have high hopes for tomorrow.
