I'm lonely and I have a chronically compressed disk in my lower back... Wonderful...

I'm lonely... I'm kind of sick of being alone... It sucks... I get to hang out with my best friend tomorrow though. I've missed her.

In other news, I have a chronically compressed disk in my lower back which is causing sciatica in my right leg.

If you don't really know what that all means, basically the part of my spine that cushions my vertebrae has failed (most likely due to my many years of bad falls) and so my disks are touching and causing irritation to my nerves...

It's an incredibly intense pain, for those who have never felt that. I've described it, sometimes, as having someone hammer an ice-pick into my lower back/hip. In the worst moments the pain also goes into my leg.

I was prescribed pain medication as needed and recommended to physical therapy.

I decided to skip the physical therapy because, really, there's nothing I'd really do there that I can't do at home. One of my friends has recommended yoga. I might try it out, seeing as how I wanted to work on getting more fit anyways.

Hopefully the pain won't interfere with my two trips in July...
