Just dashing off a quick note here.
Medically speaking, I'm healing. The back muscles are slinking back into place slowly but surely. Sadly, the meds are still kicking my ass into bed for 10-11 hours a day. So, still no writing. :(
Now that my Workers Compensation claim is in place I can avail myself various therapies such as massage, chiropractic therapy and physiotherapy. I'll be looking into my options to see what can at least get me off the sleepy meds asap.
So, good news: I'm healing. Bad news: It's taking awhile, and I still eat, sleep, job, repeat.
I wonder if Rarity or Valiente could make me a corset for back support?
Glad to hear that you're healing! Writing can wait, because your health cannot.
Don't rush your recuperation. Back injuries are serious business; make sure you get back to 100% health.
Those two could buddy
Back injuries are no joke. Take your time & fix yer spine.

Thanks folks. I'm usually pretty careful about my back and despite some full level heroic lifting (commercial pizza oven, for example) I've usually avoided injury. The only time in the past my back has been this hurt, this long was after I got nailed by a car on my bicycle and blew out every muscle in my back at once.

I hear you there.
One thing that's helped me is taking turmeric supplements. It's a handy and effective anti inflammatory thing. Just make sure you get suppliments with black pepper in them too. Helps your body absorb it faster.
