I haven't been able to ride to work yesterday or today. My back is in excruciating pain. On Sunday it was so bad I could not walk from bedroom to bathroom. I crawled and my wife helped me sit up. I've been seeing Dr. about condition (herniated disk per MRI) - I get these episodes (not apparently triggered by any event) every 2-3mo or so, otherwise pain free.

But I am irritable now, not just from dealing with constant near unbearable pain (even with mild painkillers), but aso from lack of any exercise in past three days.
