I've been having minor back troubles since I got back from Japan. 30 hours in a seat designed for an anorexic hobbit will do that.
I was almost at 100% but caught it wrong again during the wreck but it was getting better.
Then my inate clumsieness intervened.
Wednesday, while cleaning my parents gutters I fell off their roof. I caught myself but pulled my shoulder and wrenched my back terribly. Thursday it was worse. Friday it was worser. Today I could hardly stand.
Walking is not an issue but sitting long periods, bending and standing are very painful. Work is not helping. I've been moved to a pickoff position which is about the worst position for my lower back there is. This is not maliciousness on the part of management, we have lost a simple majority of people trained in that simple but stressfull and cruicial job to quitting, promotion and tragically, a heart attack. Nevertheless I feel I'll likely be calling in on Monday.
It is hard to study.
I see the chiropractor Monday.
My grandmother is going to need further surgery on her shoulder.
My father is having his hip replaced in February.
....and I can't pick up a pencil off the floor.
In school I'm doing OK. I'm just about caught up from the time I missed early in the semester.
Next week is exams. Well except for the 2 exams that have been rescheduled for the following Monday and a big paper due that Tuesday.
I've talked to my team leader and I'm going to swap a CG drill (I'd be no good on an offshore boarding with my back anyway).
Now I can never run for president....
Today, on the way back from ODU, I went by the Chinese restraunt I used to work at. (Golden Fortune on Olney Road in Norfolk). My fortune was as follows....
Failure is not final. Just make sure you do not die because of it.
