And Even MORE Knitting Time
Boise's temperatures have been dropping down in the single-digits lately, which is a bit colder than we normally get. Of course, this makes a great excuse for the abnormal amount of knitted goodies we own, but it turns out that it isn't a great thing for my back. Or, I should say, for the second back injury that was caused by the new pt exercises. I'm not sure if it was a strain, sprain, or just a pulled muscle, but the treatment is pretty much the same regardless: R est, I ce, C ompression, E levation. Okay, I have no idea exactly how to "elevate" my backside, and like all women everywhere, I've been trying to "compress" it for years. It had been getting better quite steadily, but the cold snap has caused the muscles to tighten, causing them to hurt, causing me to clench my muscles even more, which hurts even more.........you get the idea. Luckily, the Valium does help, but it still meant spending yesterday totally and completely flat in bed...
