Well…that must have amused the neighbors no end! 😀 😀 😀
Ruby and I set out for a dusk doggy-walk. We had just gotten under way — literally, just a few steps up the driveway — when OOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!
The human’s back went out.
And I do mean out. As in OUT out.
Dunno when I’ve ever had my back hurt this much!
Fortunately, we hadn’t gone far. We managed to turn around and get back in the house…. Lordie!! WHAT would have happened if we’d been a few blocks down the road???
Now I’m in the bed, cooking the back on a heating pad. Afraid to soak in a hot bath, lest I not be able to climb out of the tub.
Holee mackerel! Lemme tellya HURT!
Can’t even begin to imagine what set that off. Far as I know, no injuries have occurred recently, nor did I make any weird mis-steps. Just out of the blue, pain PAIN PAIN!!!
Weird.
Not to be a Nervous Nellie, but are you carrying a cell phone while you’re out on your perambulations? With sudden-onset hip and back pain cropping up without warning, it would be a really good thing to be able to summon your son, a friend, an Uber, or even an ambulance should you get caught out far from home. And with the kind of pain you’ve been describing, it seems like even the end of the driveway might feel far from home when you’re faced with the prospect of navigating it with your back or hip on fire.
I admire your independence and determination, but I do worry sometimes!
