My back pain is almost gone. No, really this time. Cross your fingers. Toes. What have you.

I've been trying all sorts of things, as My Dear Readers know. Chiropractic, massage, pills, stretches, whew! Up and down, around the tilt-a-whirl, over and under.

For some reason, in the last few days, I've felt better. Really, truly, consistently better. I know I'm jinxing the hell out of this, but so be it.

I can laugh without back pain.

Hee hee!
