I’ve been trying to exercise more and spent several days in a row on the stationary bike. Then I spent almost two days unable to walk because I got a kink in my hip and the pain was unbearable for things like standing or walking. Or sitting. And especially sleeping, which I did little of last night.

This morning I used Biofreeze on my lower back and then drove to work with my seat heater on high. It felt good. It also helped. By lunchtime I was able to walk without limping. I’m still being careful with it because it’s touchy, but I’m so thankful it’s feeling better. And I’d better be at least one pound lighter for all this trouble.
