Barry awoke to intense pain in his lower back. Sleeping in a bed was bad enough. Falling asleep in a recliner was a horrible idea. The throbbing of his sciatic nerve pulsed down his left leg. His right thigh was burning and there was a concrete stiffness from his tailbone to his neck. He tried to close the leg of the chair, but as soon as he pushed down on the leg, a searing pain knifed his lower back.
