So here's the short of it, 
Working on the back pain...

And here's the long.

Last night I took my first Flexeril.  I had a really hard time getting up this morning. I'm going to try taking it for the rest of the week and maybe try taking it earlier.  I don't think I'll be able to use it if it makes me so tired in the mornings.  But I'll keep pushing it back earlier and maybe I'll get into a routine that has me taking it early enough to not be so tired and sleepy in the mornings.

I suppose that it wouldn't hurt me to try to go to sleep a little earlier as well!
