Just hooked up my wireless network router for the first time in forever. I did recall all the security settings but this old 802.11g router required that I manually spoof the MAC address :rolleyes:

Ambush movie run complete. Since it was getting even more unbearably warm, we decided to go see Shrek. Left 8 minutes before movie start. She got tix; I parked. Walked in and got seats during second preview. This could never be done in LA. ^

I am staying by the airport Saturday but think I'm in a different Hyatt on Friday (per your advice).

Magnets are great for small pain relief.

In other news, my fiancee has been complaining that she is lonely with me working at night. I plan on doing something nice for a holiday off day together by getting up early tomorrow and making breakfast fajitas and 'ritas. I will probably make myself Cafe du Monde coffee tomorrow too.

Sounds like a good plan!^

Have you gotten any bodywork/deep tissue massage done? I had regular (as in weekly or bi-weekly) bodywork for a while back in 2005/2006, when I had really chronic back pain. I also take arnica -- whenever I have aches/pains, anywhere (they are the l'il white balls in the blue tubes by Boiron -- available at Whole Fds, health food stores, etc). Also, I have used the arnica gel or creme on the area & sometimes tiger balm & the like.

When the back is particularly bad, I've had accupuncture done specifically in the problem areas of the back (with the electrical stimulation).

I assume that you've been to a back specialist at some point, as I'm imagining that you have disc issues. It may be a good idea to have it checked out -- if you haven't been seen recently. You wouldn't want to be aggravating an already-complicated situation!:eek: GL!^

I had deep tissue twice last week. I'll look at arnica! I've been using biofreeze; taking flexerill, taking ambien to sleep and in a complete box way, been drinking more than normal. I've also done yoga, every back exercise I know, etc. The electrical stimulation messes me up. I can't do it. I did it fine when I was younger; but the last few years, it makes me a mess. I have a back specialist, but haven't been to see him. Will see him Tues, I guess, though I don't want to!

Sounds like it was an excellent idea!^

+1 on the electrical stimulation. I have a small TENS unit(Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and I find it helps a lot when I'm having back issues.

ETA...I guess that doesn't work for you.:(

Departing PHL at 0630 and I have to return a rental car first.

Would have offered to meet you for breakfast, but that's an ungodly hour when I usually roll in around 0100.

Poor you! Sounds like you're doing everything you can for yourself! ^
For your baths, you should put in at least a cup of baking soda & a cup of either sea salt or epsom salts -- there are salts that have eucalyptus & other things for muscle pain that work, too. If you can get ahold of some arnica oil -- put a little in the bath, as well. (I've had my step-mom pick this up for me in Mexico). These things help to draw out the inflammation from the body & detoxify.

Hoping that your visit to the specialist doesn't uncover a really serious development!:(:rolleyes:

Wow -- that's cool that you have a unit for yourself!^

It's just a small portable one. I'd kill for the one they had at PT - felt like an actual massage the way it alternated between the different pads.:-:
