Medical tip of the day

Backs are really important. Be careful when you reach into the fridge to grab the milk because you might freak your back out. Then you will have trouble moving your arms, your legs, picking things up, sitting down, standing up, walking, laying down, rolling over, sleeping, sneezing, washing your face, brushing your teeth, and lots of other things.

Ouch.

So, I guess this also means you can't update either.

Well. In all seriousness, I hope you get better - fast. My old roomie did this, or something like it, and I came home to find her sprawled out on the ground with her body twisted like she fell 10 stories...she said it was the only way that didn't hurt her. - - So get better!

I've got no drugs, but I've been experimenting with a judicious use of bourbon as a muscle-relaxant, and it seems to be doing a nice job. And I'm still a little achy, but feeling much better (and somehow, still drinking more bourbon).
