The back pain I'd been joking about a few days ago became no joke yesterday. I hobbled home from work early, and by the time I got home I couldn't even stand upright. The pain was so bad that I was sweating and gasping.

But it was opening night of the one-act festival, and pain or not it would have broken my heart to miss it. So, patched together on lots of Aleve and two glasses of red wine, I got there with the help of my sweetie's cane and was able to stay for the first act and see the play I directed. Thank goodness I wasn't an actor in this year's festival, though. There's no way I could have gone on.

It was awesome. Congratulations to all involved, and mad props and thanks to my absolutely wonderful team: [livejournal.com profile] surrealestate, [livejournal.com profile] wellstar, [livejournal.com profile] oakenguy, [livejournal.com profile] missmelissa, [livejournal.com profile] brief_life and [livejournal.com profile] beowabbit!

The Wabbit took me home at intermission, and bought me some Maker's Mark (it's good pain medicine). I stayed home from work today, and my back is feeling better enough that I think I'll be able to stay and see Act II tonight. Hope to see lots of you there!

Still Here

I'm alive, if not kicking. I'm so glad I stayed home from work today. I hope I didn't inconvenience anybody at the office, but I'm only human and need to take care of myself.

I haven't been in as much pain today. I feel sort of brittle, though, like at any moment I could move the wrong way and throw out my back further. I'm loooking forward to tonight's show Anyway. I might not be up for the outing afterwards, but it'll be good to see everybody after a day of being home.
