Managed to ride home from work last night with my back still screaming at me. Took it easy all evening and about an hour before bed I took a pain killer/muscle relaxer cocktail the Dr. prescribed for me. I think it turned me into Joe Cocker, but I'm going off of reports from my family; I really don't remember much after that.

This morning I got up and the pain is a little better, but still quite noticeable. However the fog from the medication still lingers on. I'm moving so slow the "Chariots Of Fire" theme keeps playing in my head.

Speaking of fog, today was supposed to be sunny, dry and warm. So far it's foggy, drizzly and chilly.

I did manage to ride to work this morning. Took the road bike and actually made pretty decent time. Mounting and dismounting was a bit awkward, but once I was on the bike it didn't hurt any worse to pedal than it hurts when I'm sitting still in a chair.
