MALAISE

I HADN'T CONSIDERED WHEN DORIS FRACTURED HER SPINE SHE WAS ON 6 MONTH BED REST TO ALLOW THE INJURY TO RELAX AND HEAL.  THE BODY'S NATURAL REACTION TO STRESS IS TO LOCK, TIGHTENING THE STRUCTURE IN AN ATTEMPT TO LIMIT FURTHER DAMAGE.  ERGO THE SIX MONTHS.  I DIDN'T DO ANY OF THAT.  I EXERCISED AND STRETCHED IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX MY BACK AND IT OBVIOUSLY HASN'T WORKED. 

SO USING THE HOT TUB AND STRETCHING IS SLOWLY DOING THE JOB. 

NOW MY AVERSION TO THE DECEIT ON THE PLANET=ALLERGIES.  WELL ONE CHALLENGE AT A TIME.
