Flat on My Back
Yes, that�s how I spent New Year�s Eve.
In the literal sense, one would think that would be a good thing. More true to my life, it was anything but.
Preceding the holiday I worked several long days at the office. The temperature had dropped significantly. This resulted in several all too familiar, painful episodes of back spasms.
I rang the New Year in, with my feet elevated by several pillows and a heating pad on my throbbing lower back.
This was the first year in quite a few, that I didn�t need to take a nap, in order to awaken in time to see the New Year.
I was in desperate need of rest. In between my episodes I promised myself I�d try to get some�rest that is.
