Need more proof that I'm 80? Here it is. I hurt my back at work today while I was decorating a Christmas tree. I wasn't even twisting or kneeling to stand or anything, I was just bent over a wee bit to place some lights and when I tried to stand I felt a sort of snap in my lower back. I cried out in pain and fell to a squatting position and my eyes

So, you threw your back out, eh. Maybe you'll end up being one of those people that don't get well for like a year, or maybe you'll never get any better. I threw my back out one time. I couldn't even stand up straight. It happened at work about half way through my day. It hurt to talk because my voice would vibrate my back in a bad way. But, when I got of work I had to go to the mall because Civilization 3 was on sale, so I hobbled through the mall bent half over. Honestly, it took me about an hour just to walk about 100 feet to the store and then back to my car. When I got home I souped myself up on these pain killers that I got from the dentist awhile back. It took me forever to stay asleep because I stop breathing when I'm on pain killers so my body wakes itself up. Then I start having these crazy dreams that I can never remeber good enough to tell anybody about. Anyways, I woke up the next day and the pain was gone. THe point is. . . squat, don't bend. The legs are a very powerful force. . . trust in the force. Sorry you hurt your back. Get well soon, grandma. :)
