It was pretty bad. You know the cartoons where the guy hurts his back and can’t stand up? Well, that was me. Seriously. I was down for the count, since I can’t yell for help in Spanish (all my neighbors are imports). Anyway, the back is getting better now, and I’m functioning at about 2/3 my normal speed, so I’m feeling like I’m gonna make it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>But Joyce, the “crazy cat lady” at work, got a good laugh at my expense…<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The only pain meds I had in the house were some leftover Tramadol pills that belonged to Maggie d’Earest (ATB).
