Bad patient

Remember how I hurt my back the other week. Well I haven't been doing the exercises the physio gave me, which means I've been avoiding tasks that I feel are a higher risk for injuring it. But I feel this is impacting on my quality of life as I can't do things I want to do - like dig over the garden (although I haven't actually had time to do this yet anyway). So I really need to start doing them regularly I think, but there are so many other things to do with my time - agh...I hate this vicious circle.
