oooh, look what you've done
I think God has a great sense of timing and humour. I am currently in the most pain I have been in for a long time. My lower back is hurting—an incessant sharp, pinching pain (dare I say debilitating?). I can’t really stand upright, nor sit for long periods of time. It took me twenty painful minutes to drag my body to the washroom this morning, and I walk like I just had my feet bound.
I did manage to haul my broken self to work 1.5 hours later, but the best was yet to come. After fixing a few error reports, I tried to get up to get a sesame cracker, but as I was walking the pain started to intensify and I fell to my knees (very ungracefully) because it hurt so much. But the situation was so ridiculous I started laughing, which made my back spasm even more. It didn’t help that I suddenly found everything my coworkers said HILARIOUS, to the point I was hurting so much I started crying, but was still laughing hysterically. What a soppy mess!
Meanwhile AJ has been in deep, sciatic nerve-induced pain for a few weeks, during which I didn’t really empathize or understand the extent of it. If anything, this mind-numbing pain that I’m experiencing is definitely making me more sensitive to his situation. I also imagine we'll look quite absurd walking side-by-side.
so remember kids, take care of your back and be nice to people who are hurting—you never know when you'll need them to hold you upright (or to give you their leftover painkillers).
owowowowowowoowowowowoow.
