Sorry, folks — still down.
I can sit up for maybe 30 minutes at a time now, before I have to lay down to get the pressure off my lower spine.
It really puts a damper on my working, browsing, and blogging… not to mention the mundane things, like putting on shoes.
I tried Vicodin, which works — but it makes me sick. Maybe a set of those gravity boots and an inverted workstation would do the trick — but with the bending required, I’d never be able to get myself in or out of such a rig.
Gaaaaarrr.

Shoot me. Please.

Ouch. I’ve re-herniated the bad disk, as described here.
Painful. This happens once every year or so.
I need to go lie down. Preferably in a hole six feet deep.
