Slide on the ice

[greatbear]

This morning I had the misfortune of slipping on the seemingly permanent ice on the walkway in front of the house, landing square on my ass and screwing up my back. So today was spent laying in bed filled with pain killers and trying to recover. I hope this is not serious. I was laid up for months in '03-'04 with a torn muscle in my lower back. I do not need a repeat of that incident. If tomorrow finds me still unable to stand, it's off to the doctor I go to have things checked out.

The next couple days will be fairly warm, and will hopefully get rid of the glacier currently occupying my yard. Jeff's truck needs some pretty major work, an intake manifold gaskets and motor/encoder assembly for the transfer case, plus a pair of hinge pins and bushings in the driver's door. I got an Optima battery to hopefully cram into the Mini Cooper, seeing that the original battery dies after the car sits for a few days. Contrast this to the 7+ year old battery that is still plugging away in the Stratus. That battery gets replaced very soon, since experience tells me that it will die a sudden death with little or no warning. These minor projects will happen if my back allows them to.

Here's hoping there's nothing seriously damaged and that you're feeling better PDQ.

Ugh, back problems, the bane of many people's existence (and thankfully not mine) and I hope this one is very short lived.

Gentle hugs.

I hope this is nothing.

Sorry to hear about your back Phil. I hope it's at least a little better in the morning.

Gentle Hug

If it is, I'll be heading in to work instead of the doc. If I gotta go to the doc and he gives me lifting restrictions, I will end up being out on disability again and very pissed off.

OUCH!! Dammit! OUCH!!!

Gentle hug and slide the heating pad under your back.

Thank you for reminding me the MG B needs a new battery.

Optimas rock. AGM batteries wont seep or freegas and corrode everything nearby.

Thanks, Bubba. I'll keep that in mind. First I need to get a new battery bucket from Victoria British Ltd.

Ouch! I hate the damn ice. I also hate back pain.

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

You've been dealing with more than your fair share of back pain recently, right?

[bearlover.livejournal.com]

Yup. I'm in physical therapy right now and it's oh so fun.

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

I actually enjoyed the relief I would get during some of the early rehab, especially from the massages, electrostim and localized heat and traction. The exercise was not so fun.
