All Better Now

My back is screaming
I try not to notice
But I am not doing a great job of it
It has awoken me again.
I try to concentrate on the pain.
If I finally go to the doctor how do I describe it?
It starts at the small of my back and continues to my right side.
It feels like a band that is squeezing me into submission.
My sister tells me to take Tylenol.
I had not thought of that.
Every four hours.
I would have not thought of that either.
It is better now.

As I always say, "Better Living Through Chemistry." I am prudent about this, but if pills bring relief from pain, I'm for the pills!
