For the Record
This day came in sunny and cold.

Whatever the colonoscopy contortionists did yesterday while I was on the table has me contorted with intense back pain today. I went in with a back that I had pulled on Tuesday morning bending over the bin of birdseed. Add a sleepless night and a million trips to a 'throne' that killed me to bend to sit on it. I suspect that they aggravated my back further moving me around while I was sedated.

T stayed home and is taking me to my beloved chiropractor soon. T had the brilliant idea to bring one of our summer lounge chairs into the house from the barn. I have found a temporary position of relief with ice on my left lower back. All movements are agonizing, what a tearful woebegone mess I am.
