My back is still pretty sore.

The brace seems to be doing its job, but it’s also creating some pretty damn nasty bruises on my butt from where it pinches when I sit. We’ve done a lot of adjusting, but I think it may be time to call the company who made it to see if they can’t flair it out a bit at the bottom. I’d post a pic of the bruising, but no one wants to see my butt.

It gets pretty boring around the house, and I’m not allowed to leave except to go to my neurosurgeon’s office (and my next appointment to check my progress isn’t until late next month). So I’ve been filling my time with movies, computer games, and anything else that is mildly entertaining. I broke down and installed MSN Messenger on my computer so I can IM friends and such.

Today’s plans: um…. nap followed by another attempt to get past the level in Far Cry that currently has me stuck (I can’t figure out how to get over the lava flows).

Hopefully, some sort of inspiration will strike me soon and I’ll post something clever on the site. Until then, you’re stuck with the usual mental diarrhea that has made this place famous.
