I started composing this post yesterday while I was flat on my back. However, the powerful drugs my doctor had me take for my severe back pain literally knocked me out.

It started yesterday morning as I was getting ready for work. I squatted down to get a new infusion set and my Quickserter out of my supply bucket, and wham my lower back completely seized up.

And then saying, "Es OK, Mom. Es OK, Mom.") I was able to make it to the bed--supplies in hand since I had removed my set before my shower.
