looking down

i went to bed
to sleep
tuesday night
woke on
wednesday morning
with
 a truly
 wonked out
back
the worst
i could barely walk
standing up straight
i felt
as if
i was listing to the right
i was

gah

took the 'regular' half a pain med
nothing
nothing

at the office
sitting
 in
 my ergonomically correct chair
i was fine

stand up
oh
 my aching back

walking like a listing cripple
took
 the other half a pain med
still
nothing
nothing

by 4 pm
 i was a zombie
took
 another half a pain med

for years
 a half
 never failed to ease the ache
whatever happened
 in my sleep
 was
 bad
bad
bad

at 8:30 pm
 i took another half
 went to bed
back to where it all began
another half a med
put me to sleep

awoke
 thursday morning
gingerly
i sat up
i stood
o u c h

walking
out to feed the cats
listing less
crouching
to put their bowls
down
 was likely
 amusing to see
 the contortions
 sigh
 but
 i did it

 took a half a pain med
went to the office
by the time
 i needed
 more meds
 all i needed
 was
 two tylenol
a
vast
 improvement
walking
listing less
 less pain
you could say
i am better
i'll say i'm better
not sure
 what it was
oh
so
 glad
 its
gone
