Yesterday was a wash.
I awoke to continuing back problems. After dropping Elana at camp I headed over to Patient First to get some medication to soothe my ailing back. While I do have a primary physician, I don't really like him because he thinks that all of my physical ailments are stress-related. It's not that he's necessarily wrong; it's more the manner in which he dismisses my symptoms. Like I think that my stomach problems are caused by some weird Asian virus that somehow managed to track me down on a flight from Paris to Tel Aviv and he sits there and listens to my theory and then scoffs and says, "it's stress". And then he charges $55 for the visit, which doesn't exactly ease the stress.
So it was off to the clinic to get some meds. They prescribed a muscle-relaxant, some ibuprofen and a painkiller. I took the muscle-relaxant and some ibuprofen around noon, and that was pretty much it for the rest of the day because that knocked me out! I think I slept most of yesterday away, and then I also slept through the night.
Needless to say, I am in hot waters with the wife right now. I need to put together a string of good days from now until Sunday to make up for yesterday. So I got up with Elana this morning, made her breakfast and lunch, will take her to camp and entertain her when she gets home. Hopefully my back will hold up because the muscle-relaxant is off-limits.
