In Which Ben Throws Out his Back, and then Goes to the Gym
So last Sunday I sneezed. This was not just any sneeze, but one that immobilized my lower back. I spent all of Sunday on Sara and Dave's floor in horrible pain. I find this ironic as I am the healthiest and most athletic out of the 7 people currently residing in my house. Either way, Sitting has been incredibly painful, and causes me to walk around like either my Grandpa or Wyatt Earp.
So almost a week later, I still have trouble walking normally, and sitting here for even 15 minutes has started to bother me. And yet, I've been going to the gym for 2 days in a row now, and nothing seems to really be painful there. I've run 1600 meters, done countless pullups, pushups, Supermans, Situps, Burpees and countless other things. Even the rowing machine, where I sit and use my complete range of bending, does not bother me. So why is it that I can't sit at my computer and do work that needs to be done?
This is quite frustrating.
I suppose I'm doomed to kick back and watch episodes of Top gear and DR Who for days on end.
I can deal with that.
