Joy. A day off work.
Sadly its not a sickie and I'd rather be in due to the amount of kitchens that I need to plan.
That said I can't make it down the stairs, let alone drive to work!
Was out surveying for Canterbury Council yesterday when my back started to seize after about the 11th kitchen. Managed the last one, got out the property and it decided to seize whilst I was crossing the road. Not a good moment.
Managed to get across to the other side of the road and my colleague (clerk of works) managed to get his car and bring it over. Oh how embarrassing!
Got in the car and felt fine(ish). When we pulled up behind my motor it became apparent I couldn't even lift my leg to get out the Zafira! The time between the Zafira and my Stilo seems to be blurred but somehow I got in it.
Gingerly I drove home and if I'm honest it probably wasn't the best idea but I just didn't want to be stranded or leave my car somewhere (yes I know its only a Stilo, but doesn't hurt to practice loving car for your motor regardless of what it is!).
Pulled up on the drive and managed to roll out the car onto the floor, crawled on my hands and knees to the front door and then onto the lounge floor. Got into bed from there later on!
This morning things appear to be better but jesus I'm bored already (as you can tell from this post). Still crawling around the place but at least the pain isn't as severe. On the mend I guess with the help of some co-proxamol (pain killers) and dicloflex (anti inflammatories).
I guess being 6'6" tall, back problems are unavoidable. Annoying nevertheless especially as I can't recall what would have set my back off this time. Last time was way back in March 2008 when I was shifting furniture - now that is obvious what caused it but this time round, not a clue.
Anyone else here suffer with back issues?
