Back in balance.

I'm sitting here floating at least a foot above the chair. I feel so ridiculously light and breathing is so easy it's almost as if I'm having an out-of-body experience or I've been given an anaesthetic. It isn't until my daughter treats my back that I realise how much low level (and not so low level) pain it gives me most of the time these days. She's worth her weight in gold that girl.

The amazing sense of relief sent me into a philosophical thought-line about how much pain we can all carry around with us scarcely realising it because we get so used to it until something happens that makes it all finally insupportable and we crack.
