Pass the Geritol
Posted on June 28, 2005 @ 3:14 pm
I threw my back out last night. How did I do it? Well, I turned my head to the left. Seriously — that’s it. I was standing still, turned my head to the left to look at something, felt a stabbing pain near my right shoulder blade, and started crying like a little girl.
If this is what it’s like to be 28, I don’t think I can handle 30.

Well I will hit 30 next month… it isn’t that bad…
Oh to be 30 or 28 again!!!
Interesting. This guy has the same background as your blog, only it’s black-and-white: http://www.thesneeze.com/
Try being 39. It ain’t no picnic. …why am I talking in double negatives…??
Look on the bright side. If you become decrepit enough you might have to get some of your weak human parts replaced with obviously superiour mechanical parts.
Just like Darth Vader… And the Queen Mother.
Ouch - I’ve “tweaked” my a couple of times in the past few weeks. Each time was with simple maneuvers such as “turning to the right.” I’m also a few months shy of 29, and not looking forward to this development on the other side of 30.
I forgot to add… I didn’t cry
At 30 the hemmoroids get you.
I SO feel your pain.
I wrote an essay on throwing my own back out on my blog, about a month ago. In my case, it was reaching for the remote control to turn the channel when SpongeBob came on.
Really!

Sorry, I should have left the URL for the essay, in case you wanted to read it.

Hope you like it.

Oh, I so totally feel your pain! The first time I threw out my my back, I was 24, and I sneezed. Last month (i’m 26 now), I was picking up a sock. I could understand if I was lifting heavy things, or dancing wildly, or, I don’t, sex-related, but seriously!
