did ya miss me?

[recycling goddess]

Oh it's nice to be back reading threads... I sprained my back 2 weeks ago and was unable to sit down until yesterday. I fell in a restaurant (stepped on a menu that a patron dropped) and have been suffering ever since

but, i'm feeling much better... still need to see the chiro a bunch more times to make sure i finish healing but otherwise... i'm back sitting down and on the internet!

and no, i can't do the banana dance yet... still too sore

Arg.. what a bummer! Throwing your back out is no fun. Good luck at the chiropractor.. and good to have you back!

I know what it's like to not be able to sit.. (busted tailbone being thrown off a horse) it sure sucks!

I'm so sorry to hear about your injury. OUCH!! I'm glad you're doing better though. Hopefully you'll be fully recovered soon.

[tigerlily]

Hopefully they at least gave you some good meds. Those always help.

sorry to here that. *of topic starts*had a friend that had a small infection in his tailbone and he didnt care even the the doctor told him not todo anything. he tryed rolerblading and fell. It some how spread the infection and he was in the hostpital for 3 months. Obviously that has nothing todo with your case*off topic ends* and ways, not sure what you do for a living but if you work maybe you'll get to miss sometime and just sit on the computer all day

i am self employed... work for myself on the computer... so this hasn't been good. my magazine is due out on the 15th and i haven't even started it when i fell i've been attempting to hand-code (yup i like it better that way) the magazine - and of course it's a huge issue... i'm almost done which is a blessing... so we'll be online without any delays.

i'm not the kind of person who likes to lay down... so i walked all day long, from morning to night since i wasn't allowed to stand in one place or sit. but, i've healed very quickly!

i don't take any drugs but i did break down and take one muscle relaxant every evening so i could handle the pain and get some sleep... but i'm off them now

sorry to hear about your friend pj... that sucks!!!

Ouch! I'm glad to hear you are getting better...take care of your bones and your joints. You only get one set. =P

/takes her multi-vitamin and additional calcium everyday so her bones don't knit

i agree. my back was broken when i was little and the chiro is attempting to do some gentle manipulation to get my constant back pain to decrease... he doesn't know if he can do much though as it's such an old injury and often times... it's better to just use soft tissue massage rather than realignment on such old injuries.

i figure if i'm paying for the appts anyway (while my sprained back heals) i might as well have him work on other areas at the same time

WB, RG!!!! Sorry to hear about your accident. That's really the pits. Some parts of the bod U can injure and it's not as serious, but the back isn't one of those....Noooooooo-ooooooooo

Glad to have U back, (huh? ) and good luck w/continued healing! Just be sure to take care of yourself
