Hard Times Come Again No More

My Achin’ Back

Today I have had excruciating back pain.  It isn’t constant; rather, I’ll suddenly be seized by the feeling that all my muscles are contracting at once, and I’m being squeezed to death.  Mrs. Hill gave me a long and intense massage, which helped, but I am still uncomfortable.

How did this happen?  Well, I often lift things in a very improper fashion.  Plus, last night I did sleep in our bed lying across a doubled-over mattress pad, meaning that my back was at an awkward angle.  Also, I have the worst posture of anyone ever, including hunchbacks.  I always feel great, so this is unpleasant for me.
