NOCEBO

very inconveniently i sprained my back (again)... old injury from the army days; i guess i'll take some time to recover. it's not a good time, since i'll be leaving in less than a week and i plan to walk lots and carry a messenger bag........ at times like this my love for country falters. as they say, 'pain is temporary; injury is forever'. and what do i get out of that? i know many people with busted knees/backs and i suppose we're just slightly luckier than that glaucoma boy. thanks ah, NS.

i guess if there is a silver lining in this, it is that i now have Excellent posture. simply because i can't bend forward without feeling needles in my spine. i should get a back brace... probably. lots of walking to look forward to :)
