I have written a little ditty to commemorate the first 12 days of 2011. If you care to sing a long, please do so to the tune of the Twelve Days of Christmas. It goes like this:

Oh, no! I wondered where you were. Don't attempt to paint ceilings when you are finally drug/pain-free.

That's SOME muscle spasm! Did they do an xray/MRI to rule out a slipped disk?
Hope you are pain free soon! Let me know if you need anything.

I take it you have a sore back? gosh, I hope it's not causing you too much trouble. If it does, you should consider writing a blog post about it. So I guess you haven't been hitting the slopes on sleds or skis, huh?
