I Had Intended To Post More ‘Bama Stories This Evening, But That Intention Was Foiled By A First-Time Ride On The Prescribed Narcotic Train

May 30th, 2006

Currently riding the prescribed narcotic train because:

This afternoon I took it upon myself to (ungracefully, naturally) hurt my back today while WASHING MY HANDS at the sink. There I was, being a Germ! Warrior, and then all of a sudden it hurt to walk. Hurt to stand. Hurt to laugh at how ridiculous (it is that I hurt my back while washing my hands, yes! and also) that my back was behaving like it was 65 years old, rather than the not even 25 years of old it actually is.

After work today my momma saw the grimaces I was so diligently trying to hide, and watched me limping around her kitchen scouring for leftovers, and convinced me to take a muscle relaxer, and boy howdy! are they ever really working. And affecting my spelling and typing and word choice (did I just type “boy howdy?” Am I drunk?) and other basic motor skills.

So, thanks for being patient with my belated storytelling, and for no doubt laughing at me. If I were you, I would be laughing, too. In fact, I am laughing, right now. Because, hey, muscle relaxers. Really working.

    You are SO adorable when you’re SO giggly!

    I’m not laughing (except at your loopy ass!) because when I was 25 I threw my back out opening a window. Actually it was the window over the kitchen sink, so maybe there is a connection there of some sort?

    I’m not laughing at you! I’m laughing WITH you! Because you seem really giggly. And I agree, it’s adorable. LOL Anyway! Hope your back is feeling better soon!

    Oh honey. Haven’t I TOLE you and TOLE you to avoid strenuous activities like dishwashing? You just like to live life on the edge. Ha, your muscle relaxant woes remind me of that Seinfeld episode where Elaine took them because she had to sleep on a hide-a-bed. Member? Member?

    I hope you get to feeling fine again real soon.

    I would be laughing, but back pain is no laughing matter, and if I laugh too hard at your loopiness, I may pull something.

    Hope you feel better soon!

    hey there! I just found you on Mihow’s Self Portrait Day site… I don’t visit more than once a month usually, but I look through and I did a good double take! “ahh! Kerrianne!!”

    You should never apologize for being high on prescription pain medication. Unless you’re like driving around a minivan full of children, then maybe a little “I’m sorry” wouldn’t hurt.

    *hug* I threw my back out rinsing my hair out.

    THREE WEEKS I was out of action.

    washing your hands is serious (and apparently dangerous) business. take care of yourself. and send me some of those muscle relaxers. they may not heal my cankle, but at least they’ll make me crazy. love you!

    yowza! sorry you’re hurt…you should go to a chiropractor! i love my chiropractor…….. :)

    I take it she gave you a flexeril?! haha, those are doozies!

    I hope whatever happened isn’t still bothering you and if it is..I hope your momma has more flexeril !

    i hurt my arm yesterday while shaking a bottle of ketchup. pulled a muscle. is a sad state of affairs, yes?

    I think muscle relaxers sound like wicked fun. Perhaps I should look into it…

    Henceforth I am making it my personal mission to incorporate “Boy howdy!” into conversation. I have you to thank.

    I hope your back feels better … the silver lining is that you don’t ever have to do dishes again. “I’m sorry, I can’t wash those plates. I have a bad back, see. Boy howdy!”

    Aw, poor kiddo. It’s funny because Scott hurt his back and neck the other day by stretching. Just a light stretch and he was out for days. We are old. ;)

    I hope you feel better soon!

    I popped a disc in my back tying my shoes. Let’s all drink to stupid injuries. I suggest you make up a story about parasailing or snowboarding…

  19. DrinkJack said, on 06.04.06 at 10:04 am

    Hope you enjoyed the meds and that they actually worked! Nothing worse than some pinched nerves.

  20. Katie said, on 06.06.06 at 10:49 am

    My friend threw her back out by coughing.

    Of course, she was clumsy, so no one was surprised.

    Hope you’re feeling better…
