I over did it last weekend. My back couldn't hold up to the challenge. Now I am ordered not to work the rest of the week and have a bottle each of hydrocodone and muscle relaxers. Bummer.

Agree. If you don't cross the line once in a while, you don't know exactly where it is. Heal well, Brother.

O.K. then Todd, so "Now I am ordered not to work the rest of the week", and we're supposed to feel bad for you?  rolleyes

Seriously, heal up and get well soon!

Rest well and let Mandy care for you and you will be back in shape in no time.

it's really odd when the sun shines in the North West so many people are having eye problems.
They just "Can't see working on days like this".
But in your case Todd, you are excused. take care.

Gee, your humanity is showing, you are a mere mortal after all, lol.

Good luck in healing up, back pain is no fun for sure. Hope you feel better soon.

Todd,

I seem to recall a while back that you were blue because you probably wouldn't live to grow old. But you never know. Here you are -- years later -- and you spend a weekend cavorting like a teenager and wind up in bed for a week with a blown out back -- just like all the other guys who aren't as young as they used to be. You're making it. Congrats. Keep up the good work.

Golly gee whiz guys. Good replies. Funny and true. All so very true. I wrote in more detail in my blog but what happened was I went water-skiing on Saturday. Sunday I played hooky from church and mowed the lawn detailed my wife's car and my truck gave the camp trailer a bath and went on a 10 mile bike ride. Monday I crawled out of bed and Tuesday I made it an hour before going to see the doctor. The problem with not working is the not getting paid part. lol Peter you are correct. I seem to remember a day when I thought I would never see 50. Well 50 is only 4 months away. I think I will make it. David, of course I am mortal I am however a legend in my own mind. Today I feel much better. I am a little stiff not to be confused with having a little stiffy. I think I could return to work tomorrow but I think taking the rest of the week off will be very gfmph. I dont want to show myself feeling too good though. Mandy has that honey-do list on the fridge and I am certain I don't feel that good. Thanks guys.... I will do my best to get better soon. Just not too soon.

Todd:

Sometimes I get a little stiffy.

Oh...wait..I meant a little stuffy.

The LITTLE part is operative!

Having had major back issues over the years, I definitely feel and understand your pain.

We PC folks are not immune to all the other old age (and other) crap

Feel better, Todd! I feel your pain...I tweaked my back about a week ago. I literally bent forward with a straight back without bending my knees and somehow tweaked my back. I've been stubborn and have not contacted my doctor, but will do so today. I am in a grueling 6 week anatomy/physiology AND speech class, so I don't have much time to slow down.

Muscle relaxers and rest sound like something I may need too! Take care and hopefully the back pain will soon be a thing of the past! Here's to a speedy recovery! Take care, friend!

hope you feel better soon Todd - you could sell what you don't use with the hydrocodone on the black market and pay off some of your mortgage ( only kidding-street value - as per internet- is only $2bucks) - we have 4 methadone clinics for oxycotin addicts in a town of only 47k ... fortunately, we do not live in a sketchy neighbourhood.... the police found a stach of fake oxycotin in the shape of viagra pills with "Tim Hortons" ( the coffee shop people) on it .... very strange...

-note: this rambling was just to distract you from your back pain.

gentle healing hugs,
Bronson

Todd:

Glad things are going better. I seem to hurt my back doing the most innocuous things (one time, just tying my shoe!).

But usually, it is the result of weakening.

I OFTEN get a severe back issue 1-2 days after final exams week. I spend almost all of that week sitting a (giving exams, grading them, figuring and posting grades). Even with breaks, I just set up a situation for that to happen.
