I should have been doing the bridge pedal

I've participated in the Providence Bridge Pedal nearly every year I've been here (except 2 now). This year I chose not to do it as I have a bad back. In fact I spent Sunday morning lying on the floor of my sun room, wondering if I was going to be able to get up soon, as my back had a painful muscle spasm. I did make it up after about 90 minutes, but it wasn't fun. The Vicodin and Flexeril don't seem to be doing their job any more, and it has been a week now... I'm not good at being ill! :-(
