62 degrees with light rain. Another chilly, rainy day. Not a lot of accumulation of rain just off and on showers.

The library is back open for curb side service. Two of my books came in that I had on reserve just before they shut down. When Tim called I explained the back situation. I drove over and they brought them to the car and took the ones I had to turn in.

The battle of the back continues. Last slept some last night sitting in my chair in the den and the rest in the bed. Today just trying to stay comfortable.

61 degrees, cloudy, and drizzle this morning. Mid 60’s. cloudy, and drizzle today.

I had  to o into town to the drugstore to pick up another prescription to try for the back. Also, got a card from the vet. They are back to doing routine exams but I will have to wait until I get this back mess fixed. You still have to stay in the car and they take your pet in for what’s needed. I had to drive out there this morning to pick up his six month supply of Heartguard which they brought it out to the car.

Otherwise nursing the pain. Not sure the new meds are going to work. I had an okay night last night. Today has been rough.

62 degrees, cloudy, and drizzly. mid 60’s today with clouds and a stray shower. Rain tonight.

I was up most of the night with my back. I had a chiropractor appointment this morning. The back is not getting better so I will discuss next options with my doctor tomorrow via phone chat.

Otherwise, resting and icing the back today.

51 degrees, windy, and rainy. Still under flash flood watch. 3 more inches of rain in the outdoor gauge since yesterday. We are up to at least 7 plus inches with more today and tonight.

Mornings are rough as the back is still doing spasms and hurting. Once I got all the meds taken and can get dressed I feed Colin and get him out then I iced the back for ten minutes. Now I can eat my breakfast.

I really needed to make a grocery store run to pick up milk, juice, etc. I found everything I was looking for. Shelves are looking better but there are still some bare shelves of stuff that I did not need. I stocked up on more pasta and noodles and Alfredo sauce. I have plenty of spaghetti and marina sauce from my Coscto stash.

There were not many folks in the store but I wore my mask.

41 degrees, cloudy, and breezy. 4 inches of rain in the outside gauge this morning. Flood watch until tomorrow morning. 100% chance of rain today, tonight, and tomorrow.

I had another chiropractor treatment this morning. The back is a little better. Ice on for 10 minutes, off 50 will be the routine for the day.

49 degrees, rain, and wind is the story for today.

The back kept me up all night last night. I had phone call from Dr. Ambler at 1:30. We discussed what to do next. We’re going with a course of prednisone and he put me on a nerve medication I took several years ago. Four weeks and I’ve about had it.

60’s this morning and partly cloudy. A rain shower maybe this afternoon or tonight. I called my chiropractor this morning, I wanted to get his read in the test results, Back is still hurting. He did a cold/buzz treatment and explained a course of treatments for me to discuss with my doctor.

I did not feel up to a a grocery store run but did make a stop at the market up the road for a bag of black oil sunflower seed. I am almost out, Maybe feel like hitting the store tomorrow.
