I just saw my primary care doctor. It looks like I am recovering nicely from last Friday's episode. I went to my body shop and have an appointment for a comprehensive look at the car on Monday. There is very little visible damage and the car is drivable, however.

I had a most irritating Friday afternoon and evening. On our way to see "John Carter" we were rear ended by a fool who clearly did not see where she was going. The car, oddly, has no visible damage. The same cannot be said about me. I spent several hour in agony in the ER as the muscles in my lower back did a cossack squat dance. Fortunately nothing is broken and I have pain meds in abundance for the next few days. But Friday is a day I would like a do over on.

'Terra Nova' was Deservedly Cancelled
