5 things I have learned while having a sore back

Early Saturday morning I managed to hurt my back in the most pathetic method known to mankind. I was painting my toenails, twisted a little and POP! Instant pain. I knew this girly business of makeup and nail polish was overrated!

As a result, I missed out on a Hen’s party that night since I was hunched over like a grandma (with a dirtier mouth), and I wouldn’t have been much fun. The entire weekend was spent pretty much doing nothing, and I don’t do well doing nothing. Thankfully C was home to keep me entertained, otherwise I think I would have ripped my hair out. As it was, I did end up plucking a bit of hair out, but not from me. My black dog had managed to get some white hairs, and they were bugging me.

Please don’t call PETA.

During the weekend, I got the chance to learn some things that had never been quite apparent to me before now.

  • Despite having a sore back, our couch is still amazingly comfortable
  • The toilet is not
  • It’s amazing how heavy a frying pan or laptop can be when it hurts to stand straight
  • It’s amazing how much of a pussy you feel when you realise you just thought the frying pan was heavy
  • It’s not fun explaining to people that you hurt your back from painting your toenails. I’ve made a mental note that in the future I will  be telling people I hurt myself jumping out of a plane while wrestling a great white shark with my feet. Oh yeah, hardcore (I will also leave it up to people to figure out how a great white came to be in the sky).

What’s the silliest injury you’ve ever had?
