All Gimped Up

I look like a complete idiot right now (much more than usual). I managed to damage the bone surrounding my vertebrae back in early December and though I felt fine for three weeks, it came back with a vengeance on Tuesday. The pain forces me to lean forward, cock my head to the right and hold my left hand up like I'm Napoleon.

15 mg (that's A LOT) of Vicodin, 800 mg of ibuprofen and 1500 mg of Methcarbamol (a muscle relaxant) seem to help but make me act pretty goofy (again, much more than usual) as if I had 15 shots of tequila.

I wouldn't blog about this except for the fact that I've been called "all gimped up" three separate times today at work. Is that the new term for looking injured, lol?

For the fam, please don't worry- I got some imaging done last night and I'm not at any risk for paralysis. Any sympathy e-mails will be summarily deleted...

  1. Don’t worry, no sympathy email from your sister. just a “Dumb-ass” email for not getting it looked at back in December. Just teasing you, I am the same way.

    Love ya,

  2. I did get it looked at back in December. That’s how I knew what was wrong.
