Still, after three tylenol 3’s and one flexeril, my back and hips feel like they are on fire, and I’m not even the least bit sleepy. It would be nice if I could at least sleep through one of these attacks. Maybe I should sign up for a yoga or tai chi class or something like that. It might help. I went to physical therapy. Haven’t kept up with my exercises. Duh. That might help too. I just feel sooooo old. I’m going to be 45 this year, and it feels incredibly young to have degenerative arthritis in my back, hips and knees. I can’t sit or stand in any position for more than 20 minutes at a time. Which sucks, since I love to latch-hook, and – of course – write.

Getting old – it stinks. Crap.
