Back Pain Episode

I woke up yesterday unable to get out of bed. I had the most horrible back pain ever. I couldn't bend and neither could I twist. All I really could do was just lie down there.

It's kind of scary to be in that situation knowing that you are all alone in your apartment and all alone in this country. Well at that moment, my friend Cai (who is currently based in Australia), was texting me. I ended up calling her. She used to work at a chiropractor so she managed to give me some practical advice on how to deal with extreme back pain. She told me to use a cold compress first to relieve the pain. I managed to drag myself to the kitchen to look for ice. It was quite a horrible feeling when I discovered I didn't have any in the fridge. So I dragged myself back to the bed only after uttering all the curse words I knew.

Anyway I did manage to see a doctor in the afternoon. He gave me some painkillers. After that, I went back home and stayed in bed until it was time for "The Amazing Race". Woke up feeling a little better this morning. That's why I'm back here in the office.

As a side note, Charla and Mirna were eliminated in last night's episode. I think they were a really good team, eventhough they were a little ruthless sometimes. Let's see how the other teams fare in the next few episodes. I still don't have a clear favorite for this season.
