Back woes

I have not been a happy camper this weekend. My back has wavered between annoying and blinding with pain. During the annoying periods I think “ok this isn’t too bad”; during the blinding pain I lay on my bed, shirtless, with the electric blanket below me and my teddy bear and pillow on my chest, eyes closed, music playing, concentrating on my breathing. The physio seems to think things are going well; I’m not so sure.
