Getting there....


Well my back stopped getting worse! Big deal, eh? Today, though it actually felt "slightly" better. There was a bit more sharp pain, but, more mobility and less numbness in my shin. I am super-obsessive about icing and treatment, so I tend to heal faster than most people. I will do what I have to do (more lying around with ice bags watching football) and get on with it.


A couple of nights ago, I simply could not get comfortable and couldn't sleep at all. It got me thinking about people living with chronic pain and insomnia. It actually got me thinking about Michael Jackson and his addictions. One night of pain and no sleep sucked. I could absolutely see how someone becomes a drug addict if they are constantly hurting and lacking in rest.


Maybe the world shouldn't be so quick to judge.
