Another reason winter sucks

So Friday after i got home from work, I decided it was time to clean out the fridge, which lead me to take out the trash and compost. It snowed Thursday night and I was too hungover Friday morning and had too much work planning to do and as a result i didn't shovel.

So basically, I fell down my back steps. Landed with my back hitting the steps. I laid there for awhile, terrified I broke my back and would live the rest of my life crippled. But eventually, and with much pain and effort, I pulled myself up. Went into the house and got my phone and called my parents. I was crying so hard my mom could hardly understand me. It was 5:00 and they said they'd come down and take me to the doctor. So i stood in the same spot until they got to my house an hour later. Then, after a lot more pain and effort, we got me into the car. It fucking hurt so bad.

I had to wait forever in the waiting room at urgent care, some toddler throwing up in a bucket for most of the wait. I had the same doctor as last urgent care visit. She remembered me. That made me happy cuz I really liked her. She's great. Columbia St Marys at Cathedral Square. Well thank God, I didn't break anything. Ive been staying at my parents since Friday night but I think I am going to have them take me home tonite. I can still hardly move. I shuffle around slowly with the aide of a cane. And I got a lot of vicodin and muscle relaxants.

Needless to say, I don't think I'll be working this week. So if anyone actually reads is and wants to come over and watch movies or just hang out, let me know. Oh, and back to the work thing.. I just started working in Franklin Friday. I am following two previous reps that didnt finish the project. Why didn't they finish, you ask. Back injuries. Apparently there is a Franklin HomePages back injury curse.

Sorry if this entry doesn't seem coherent. I'm quite medicated at the moment.
