FUCK!
I was making breakfast, bent at the waist and felt a *rip* in my spine at the exact spot I had major surgery a year ago. It didn't hurt, but it didn't immediately last time, either. Now it's spasming and numb.
No fucking way will I go through that process again. Stick a fork in me and call me a cripple forever, I am not doing spine surgery twice.
WELCOME TO YOUR 40s WHEN JUST GETTING OUT OF BED SUDDENLY BECOMES A LIABILITY
(please don't offer advice unless you're a neurosurgeon, thx)
@malice ((hugs)) (but gentle ones so it doesn't make it worse). I just hope it isn't as bad as you suspect it is.
btw I say please don't give me advice because the tendency for well-meaning but clueless people to jump in and suggest that I do all the things I've been doing for years is super aggravating. "try yoga" omg *stab*
