Waiting to not hurt so bad

Finally I got up

I photograph what's nearby
I wait

oh gosh, CB...
So very sorry to hear this...bad backs are THE. WORST!
Hope your MD or DO gets your back straightened out QUICK. Ugh.

And you're right...you about can't do ANYTHING when they're messed up.

Prayers and wishes for a quick healing
