I focus on the pain...

I'm not sure how, but some time over the weekend I pinched a nerve in my back.

I don't remember any point going, "Damn, my back, WTF!" but it started with a slow ache that turned into a sharp stabbing pain every time I move.

Oh well.

I get to lie on my couch for a day or two and catch up on movies. According to the doctor it could take anywhere from 10 to 90 days to heal completely. I should stand or lie down, no sitting. It's a good thing I don't work at a desk... oh wait... bummer.

I took off Monday and Tuesday(today). I'm going in tomorrow. It'll take more than crippling back pain to keep me from new comic day.

I'm also in the middle phase of a head cold. Stuffy nose, sneezing, itchy eyes. My mom just got over one and at least two of the guys I work with just got over one too. I guess it was my turn. At least I have it while my back hurts. Might as well deal with everything at once.
