Feeling somewhat better

Yesterday I wrote "Finally feeling better. i havent taken my much needed nap in 3 days and im actually feeling like my vibrant self again. Now its time to be productive again"

But I did need a nap yesterday and one today. The eye pain is back and I'm still taking quite a bit of ibiprofun.  Wednesday I saw the massage therapist at Kaiser. She said my back looks like I have scoliosis. great! I guess it's a good thing I'm seeing the physcial physician. I didn't even know there was such a thing.

The good thing is I am not quite as exhausted but I don't want to jinx it.
