Ok folks my inflammation is receding. I think it was smoking weed and taking long, contemplative night walks in the rain that fixed it. Upper left back has been sore and I thought I was gonna have a cardiac event but it seems fine now.

At first I thought I sat down weird for too long without noticing but I've been watching the babies a lot more lately so now my working theory is I picked one of them up weird and forgot the ancient wisdom (use your legs to lift)
