It’s been two weeks now that I’ve been battling the effects of pulled muscles in my lower back. I’m not sure but the condition was probably the result of intense blogging on a laptop over four hours. It was worsened by an hour at the gym and driving into work (an hour’s trip each way) for a week.
Once I worked out what was going on I went out and bought myself a new office chair to use at home. But too late. It took me a while to realise that nothing short of rest was going to fix the problem. So… a visit to the doctor, anti-inflammatories, and a week off work, a day at a time.
Despite taking each day off to be at home I found myself constantly battling workaholism. I hired a pile of DVDs to reward myself for lying the couch for hours at a time and wean myself off blogging etc.
I’m getting back into the swing of things now. I can now put a pair of socks on in less than a minute.
