Brett's Blog Back Problems May 03, 2010 | 11:40 am I hurt my back this morning getting ready to go grocery shopping. Wait for it... I was reaching over a drawer for a shirt. Wow. Anyway, it's not too bad and I'm about halfway done on the final copy-editing of Bold & Brave. I DO plan to have it available by the end of the day. I just need to rub in some icy hot and rest a bit. Like I said, it's not too bad, so it should be OK after a little rest from my exciting shopping exploits :) 7 Comments | Add Comment | Permanent Link | Return to Overview CrazyBlend Commented: May 03, 2010 | 1:27 pm That sounds like something I would do. It sucks to get old. :) Brett Commented: May 03, 2010 | 1:52 pm Funny thing is that I have to bend over the same way to use the faucet in my bathroom, because the sink is very low. I extended forward too far just for a shirt. pspahn Commented: May 03, 2010 | 2:32 pm Yeah man, it does suck getting old. A couple of years ago I threw out my lower back--playing play-doh with my daughter! I was sitting on the floor and reached across her to grab the red can, and whammo, two months later I was still waking up in pain, having to stretch for ten minutes before I could even roll out of bed. :) pspahn Commented: May 03, 2010 | 2:34 pm Also, hope you feel better. Brett Commented: May 03, 2010 | 3:18 pm I'm better now, but not great. It should be OK in a few days. This happened once before, grabbing some mulch from the floor of the back seat of a car. I overreached. Of course, this isn't quite as bad as when I fell on the steps (damned slippers) and landed right on my lower back on the edge of the step. mtwofive Commented: May 03, 2010 | 8:19 pm Yikes. Glad you're starting to feel better. Brett Commented: May 03, 2010 | 8:36 pm Almost done B&B. One chapter to finalize. Add Comment
