Road video and map<\/a><\/p>\n I had three interesting places lined up to visit today but all required walking and, unfortunately, my back didn’t want me to move at all.<\/p>\n Despite being fully dosed up with Tylenol I was in significant pain while visiting the Corning glass museum on Sunday and, again, yesterday walking the Cascadilla Gorge Trail. I took Tylenol before going to bed last night but woke up in pain about 6 AM this morning and took more. I thought that, when I got up around 8 o’clock, the Tylenol would be at its strongest but I was barely able to shuffle to the hotel reception and car and I had to ask for help lifting my carry-on bag into the car. It was obvious that there was little point in continuing the trip and so I decided to come home while I was still able to drive.<\/p>\n I am now safely home and will be resting for a couple of days before deciding if medical intervention is needed. I used to have back pain when I was in charge of the information technology at my school due to all the sitting but have not had any such issues since I returned to teaching in 2008 or, previously, during retirement.<\/p>\n I am disappointed to have to truncate the trip in this way. It ended up being just 6 days and 950 miles.<\/p>\n Thanks to all who followed or commented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tuesday, July 19 2022 Road video and map I had three interesting places lined up to visit today but all required walking and, unfortunately, my back didn’t want me to move at all.
