We have ADSL in Gark Villa. Also, my back is starting to feel quite a bit better. These are both Very Good Things.

What exactly did you do..

..to your back and how?

Or is that too TMI?

Not TMI at all - I will probably post to LJ (need to post a redux of what I've been up to for the last couple of months anyway), but this is a rough outline.

I had a stiff lower back on Saturday night, and it was sore on Sunday morning so I took some ibuprofen. We'd been tidying up the bedroom, and I'd flopped back onto the bed. When I tried to get up, I had a stabbing pain at the very base of my spine, so I yelped and fell backwards. It took about ten minutes to get me sitting upright, and another half hour to get my trousers on (I'd been wandering around in my dressing gown, it being a Sunday) so that I could get to A&E in a semblance of decency. Hurt lots to lift my legs, which made me suspect sacroiliac inflammation (I had a week-long case about three years ago). Doctor at A&E agreed, and gave me a prescription for dichlofenac (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, like a stronger ibuprofen).

Back got worse before it got better, so by Sunday night I could only lie on my back and couldn't turn over, even with help (spasms were just too painful when Isobel was trying to haul me onto my side). Sunday night was bad, since the rest of my muscles in my abdomen decided to start spasming in sympathy. Slept most of Monday, took the painkillers, and by Tuesday evening I was mobile enough to be able to get to the loo by myself.

So to answer your question, nothing that I was aware of. I hadn't been lifting anything heavy, for a start.
