You never know what the day will bring. Wednesday morning Stephen was at the piano practicing songs ahead of the Wednesday night band practice. He turned to his left to see the computer and with that movement (something he does numerous times) he let out a (almost) scream. I was down stairs and didn't really understand the significance until I heard it a second time.
When I got upstairs he was in a great deal of pain and was unable to get out of the chair. After getting some Advil in him, I pulled the chair into the bedroom and he basically rolled out of it onto the bed. He was hoping that after a couple of hours flat on his back, he would be fine, but, as most everyone knows, it rarely works that way with pulled muscles.
The afternoon progressed with massages, ice, heating pad and pain. He didn't make it to practice Wednesday night or to church last night. His pain level has diminished somewhat over the last two days, but he still has along way to go to be pain free.
Please pray that his pain will end, that the inflammation will subside and that he won't do anything to cause a recurrence. I know he'll be wanting to run as soon as he can, but pray that he will be patient and take the time he needs for his back to recover completely. He'll definitely be "off" inflatable duty until he is back to normal.
