up for an audition tomorrow afternoon

but my back's still killing me. Still has me clumping about like an AT-ST, despite the sciatica being a notch better. It is the swelling, however, that worries me; it has been a week since the injury, but the muscles in my lower back are still raised in tense, symmetrical humps.

If the injury remains as it is for another week, I will be headed for acupuncture at NUH; any longer than that, and I will have little choice but to see a specialist and have an MRI taken.

On a positive note, I can stand upright with minimal pain now, and do all my stretches with relative ease. Surely that has to count for something.
