Spasmed

I had a dental appointment for yesterday that I had on my calendar for a whole year. It was for 9am, but I phoned and cancelled at 8. 

I hate doing that, but as I explained to the receptionist, I didn’t know if I could get there and get onto the chair. Once in the chair, I wasn’t sure if I could stay there for the duration. Finally, I wasn’t at all confident that after an hour, I could get up and out again.

You see, I’ve had lower back muscle spasms for more than a week. I thought that they would surely be better by Monday morning, but if anything they were even worse. They aren’t exactly tickety-boo this morning either.  

Back spasms aren’t new to me. I’ve probably been getting one or two per year in the last decade. They are bad for a few days, but then they get better. This spasm bout isn’t as bad as some, but it is sure lasting longer.

I’ve given up on Dr Ho and Robax and so on. If time doesn’t soon begin to heal, I will hie myself thither to yon doctor. But they gotta get better soon, eh? This is getting ridiculous.
