The pain eventually got bad enough in my thigh today that I called the doctor just after 11:00 pm, and begged the receptionist to let me see him in the afternoon. She took pity on me, and set up an appointment at 2:10 pm.

The end result is that the doctor thinks I may have torn the muscle in the upper thigh, and has decided to send me for tests on Tuesday (the earliest he could get the appointment booked), and has told me to take it easy, and to walk as little as possible for the nonce.

In the meantime, spross dropped by this afternoon after work, ostensibly to drop some stuff off for me, and then helped me finish sorting through the boxes of books and then put all the boxes back in the storeroom for me. I'm more grateful to him for this than folks can possibly imagine.

I've spent the rest of the late afternoon lying down and napping after taking some Tylenol, and am about to go upstairs (ouch!) and make some supper. This evening will be spent on the telephone with Tammy Powers, talking to her about magic in Desolation, as she needs to get ready to play her spell caster on the weekend.

As I mentioned in a recent entry, I am quite sore from exercising a bit too much on the elliptical machine. Yesterday, I made a terrible mistake in that I needed to go through the boxes of books and rpgs in my storage cupboard, and was moving these boxes and all on my own. I knew I was in trouble after I had moved the boxes, because my body was aching and I was shaky. I didn't have the strength to move the boxes back into the cupboard, other than to clear a way into the bathroom and the bedroom, so now the whole damned lower level of the house has book boxes all over that I can't put back in the cupboard! :<

I woke up this morning, and can barely move my back. Add to this the fact that my legs are sore and aching as well still, and I'm quite miserable when it comes right down to it. And that's with the painkillers.

So here I am at work, in a state of agonizing pain at times, and have a workload of stuff here on my desk. Add to this the fact that I've just discovered that my personal e-mail server is down *again*, so I can't get any e-mail and, well...

It is not going to be a good day.
