Well, so much for beating the job. It beat me.

I ended up with another "lumbar strain" a couple of days ago and am on muscle relaxers/painkillers and off work. I have received no instruction about exercise (no doctor appointment yet...occupational health guy just took me off work and referred me to a spinal guy) but I'm thinking I'll try riding the bike at the gym today.

I am stressed out about being able to DO this job. I have to get stronger.
