Hey, everybody! For those who have been following @anthracite's toots: I am alive. :)

Basically I pulled a back muscle so badly I lied down and couldn't stand back up. I'm embarrassed, but every doctor and nurse was totally understanding and insistent that we had done the right thing.

More than anything, no offense Dad, but I'm just proud to have finally proven I'm less of a butthead than my late father, notorious for toughing these things out when he shouldn't have. -_-

@zebratron2084 That sounds SUPER unpleasant, but so glad to hear that it sorta turned out okay. All the best wishes your way 💕

(Also, not to butt in where I shouldn't, but: I notice @anthracite mentioning core strength building. My doc's been having me do that for a while now. It takes time, but I can say it's done wonders. I recommend it highly.)

@zebratron2084 Yikes and ... well, glad to have you back among the mobile.

I did throw my back out once bad enough I even mentioned I was feeling a bit of pain, which is how my love knew it was really serious. During an amusement park trip, too. About a week later (back home) it had cleared up, and then I threw it out again by coughing too much in the shower.

@zebratron2084 *sends very gentle sof hugs your way!* back issues like that are no joke! I'm glad it didn't turn into something way more serious! ♥

@zebratron2084 Hooray for continuing to live! Please continue to do so with all alacrity.

@zebratron2084 I am glad it was taken care of, and that it wasn't a bad thing. yay!
