Made it to Asheville. Finished a slimed down decorating (we'll be in GA for Christmas) and my back went out. I haven't had pain in over a month and suddenly intractable pain again.
I'm taking meds, increased PT to every hour and I'm feeling a lot better this morning. Still pain and tenderness, but the waves of nerve pain are gone. I have no idea what did or what will set it off. Cleaning is off the table. Mountain walk is off too.
I'd drive home today, but I'm not sure I can yet. Loading the car, taking the drive might be too much. I'm probably better off resting here for the day and doing the trip tomorrow as I planned.
The downside is I have no food in the house -- absolutely nothing. I ate what I brought yesterday. I need to go out and get something. I'm still pondering leaving late morning. I have a few hours to decide, but still leaning to staying.
I'm upset by this backslide again. I don't know about hiking plans in AZ now. Geez. There was no warning. No pain, sudden pain.
Here are some decorating pictures. Extra simple, but it'll still feel like Christmas on our next couple of trips to Asheville. The tree is on a timer so it looks nice as people walk by.

Hope you're enjoying the holiday weekend. Later gators.
