Did too much today - but still ot much pain

I went to pick up dog food today - gave up and asked for help. The nice people at the feed store loaded it for me. It did mean that I had to take pain killers when I got home, but that is only the second time today! Instead of taking six or more vicaden a day, I am down to taking two or three for the last several days!
I am going to continue to rest my back, do my physical therapy, and take hot baths to sooth the mucle spasms for as long as I can. I don't have to go anything strenuous until the end of Sept when the VA puts me back into college, and by then I will hopefully have my new back brace.
