today was the first day that my (lower) back finally felt practically back to normal (after tweaking the SI joint last week). walked around the yard a little bit, straightened up the house a bit. Could even bend down and pick things up off the floor today; yep, back nearly recovered nicely, thanks to ice, rest, and naproxen. Used judiciously, looks like I may be able to use naproxen next time I do something silly like carry a chair smile tomorrow think i might be able to take a real walk again.
