Be Careful

My back troubled me today. The pain from yesterday was still present and served as a huge reminder to me to be careful and aware of what I’m doing. It is possible that all the talk of my back going in July has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. There is no need to talk to people about it because they only serve to remind me of it. In fact, mum reminded me of it yesterday after lunch around the time it started to hurt. I don’t want to be mothered any more. On the positive side – my pain has made me more conscious of my back and of what I need to do to protect it. Be careful around women. Stay away if I can. There has been a lot of contact with women leading up to this pain. Today I have kept out of their way and the pain has eased slightly.
