Day off in Casper

 A minor setback yesterday for me.  I wrote the day before yesterday about the incident with my jacket getting caught in the rear tire.  What I didn't mention was that in keeping the bike upright I wrenched my lower back.  I was able to ride the additional 60 miles to finish that ride but my back started tightening up as we got closer to the end.  I went to the store and got some icy hot patches and put one on in the morning and hoped that the back would loosen up as I rode,  Not exactly what happened.  I started having lower back muscle spasms which got worse as I rode along.  I had to stop at the 23 mile mark and finished the ride in the van.  When we got to Casper I went to the ER.  I was examined and it was determined that it was a muscular problem and not a skeletal issue. I was given pain killers and anti-inflamatory medicine and told to rest in bed with ice on my back. I was given 2 shots and some oral medication.  Everyone is telling me that I was pretty funny last night at dinner although I don't really recall being very funny.  The doctor told me that if I do what I was told to do I should be okay to ride tommorow.  So I am just taking it easy today.From the looks of Casper driving through I don't think that I will be missing too much by lying in bed.
