Okay, so I've been crap at updating lately. That's mainly due to a confluence of factors, many of them being work-travel-related. As usual, been shuttling back and forth between Detroit and Chicago (with some side trips to exotic locales like Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids and Lansing). It's funny -- the travel itself isn't bugging me as much as it used to. The one thing that's still difficult is getting things done at home because of not being around as much, things like grocery shopping and cleaning the house.
Last week I had another back-related issue; during the Buffett concert my lower back was really, really sore and last week I decided I had officially Had Enough Of That. So I took myself to Chicago Spine and Sports, which had a ton of great Yelp reviews. I met Doctor Tim, who diagnosed my problem and gave me some really helpful tips and exercises to help me out. (Boiled down, my problem: underused gluteal muscles and lower back muscles, which led to my middle back overcompensating. So the exercises are to strengthen the lower back and glutes. Good times.) I very, VERY firm recommendation for these guys -- I had a great experience with my office visit. Doctor was very helpful, explained a lot and I couldn't be happier I went.
