MRI of Zack’s back problem, sciatica. May your more horizontal times provide perspective (not that you need it, but what the heck), my friend.

Getting fire-cup therapy in Nanning. I have been feeling sickish and my stomach and back have bothered me lately so I went to a traditional Chinese doctor. He felt my pulse and looked at my fingernails and knew my stomach has issues. Then he said my problem stems from too much “humidity” in my body and did the fire cups, moxibustion, and acupuncture on me. Feeling better now.
In this picture, though, I think it looks like I’m being attacked by a Metroid or something.

This sciatica is still causing me problems and a bit of a set back on Wednesday leaves me wondering about going under the knife.
I’ve lived with this back problem since the original injury in 1976.
This is the most pain I’ve endured in what seems like my yearly encounter with re-injury since then.
At any rate. I’m awake. I’m sitting in front of a computer for a couple of minutes and decided to post an experiment I fiddled with before the back went out – nothing original. It’s a scan of a tin toy I have on my desk. I placed it upside-down on the scanner bed and propped the cover over it with an empty Polaroid 600 box. I added the frame and sepia tone in Photoshop. It looks like it’s moving!
Hope you have a great weekend.
