Day off work, off writing

So, my back is much better. Still tender, but I can walk around and everything. After a mere eighteen years of complaining the doctors are finally booking me in for an MRI. The very nice doctor I saw today (I was actually able to walk to the surgery, though it took longer than usual) apologised to me on the part of the profession. Apparently most of her colleagues over the years have been writing my back pain of as psychosomatic (because, you know, people with mental illnesses never ever get anything physically wrong with them.)

She examined me, stuck pins in me etc, and thinks it's probably neurological, but probably not anything to worry about. It 'should be manageable,' but she wants to see the spinal involvement to be sure. Looks like I'll be on anti inflammatories and painkillers for a while, but at least I don't need those effing anti spasmodics anymore.

Currently sitting at home, unable to write.

Well, never mind. It will come back to me at some point. I think. I hope.

It always has done before.
