The only thing that makes me happy is doing two sets of pull-ups. I remember when I used to get past 20 and now can barely reach 14. By doing two sets, I feel closer to my past performance.
The sciatica is starting to let up, probably because of all the meds I'm taking: prednisone, ibuprofen, acetaminophen and the occasional gabapentin. I haven't touched the cyclobenzaprine aka Flexeril, mostly because I'm keeping it for when I might really need it: it sure would've come in handy that excruciating week in August when I couldn't sit or lay down! But sadly, the drug, as with a lot of muscle relaxants, is contraindicated for people with glaucoma because it increases eye pressure.
I'm looking at lumbar support for my car seat when my husband mentions that the gaming chair he got our son, the chair no one uses because my kid prefers to lay on the floor, has a separate lumbar pillow. I test it out in the long drive down to his office party and it seems to have helped. But it's too soon to tell. I'll know more in the next two days...
