Just a quick update on the self pity thread that I’ve become so fond of.

I went to a chiropractor after work to see if they couldn’t do something to ease the pain in my leg (caused by the herniated disk in my spine and the reason for my eminent surgery). They refused to do any manipulation of the bones in the spine for fear of causing additional damage (a sensible approach which I appreciated… I would have walked out if they had suggested doing that) but instead did a few stretches of the leg and lower back.

Tonight… the pain killers are no longer working (and yes… I took a full dose) and my leg is absolutely on fire.

They had scheduled me for 5 more sessions, which at this point, I will cheerfully decline.

Sleep ought to be interesting tonight.
