Well, 4th of July rolls around, I get the day off, and I put my back out.
Damn it, I'm 90.
I am, however, proud to say that it happened while I was... *drum roll, please*... EXERCISING!!! I was doing some rigorous activity (prostrations, for those of you who know what they are) and upon 225, I stood up and my back popped VERY loudly. Fell over, yadda yadda, pain pain pain, went to see War of the Worlds, saw the fireworks, all in complete agony... can barely walk...blah blah blah. Well, it was a holiday, so no one could see me. I went to a chiropractor the next day, got some xrays... nothing serious, but I've got a TAKE-HOME electrode kit!!! I get to walk around (metaphorically speaking) like Robocop, with wires hanging out of my pants!
So, yet another new and unusual adventure of me.
Tune in next week for: The Wonderous World of Hysterectomies! (KIDDING! Seriously now, don't be gross...)
