Limping Along

My back is getting slightly better, if you call being able to sit up in the morning without screaming in pain "better," which I do. I was able to limp across to Lisa's father's house on crutches, and the pain was not as bad as yesterday. The problem is that if I sit or lie in one place for too long -- and that's what I want to do because it hurts to move -- the muscles cramp up more so things are worse when I have to move again. But anyway, the tiny bit of improvement over yesterday gives me hope that the muscles will have more or less healed by the time I have to fly back to California.
