Pains in the back

[missmaryr]

My older son works in a furniture factory where he routinely lifts fairly heavy stuff. For some reason Monday, he lifted a box of glue- and the pain hit. He came home, rested all day, and felt much better, enough that he went back to work. There was a job he could do which was not lifting anything heavy, so they put him in that.

So today he was headed for work. It's raining just a bit. The light goes green, and he started moving when- BOOM- the truck behind him hydroplanes and bumps into him. It's not even a fender bender- but it made his back flare up again.

Sometimes life just sucks.

Oh bummer, yeah, too bad that happened just as it was getting better - back problems are no fun. Hope the flare up resolves soon!

He's back to work already but he says his fellow employees won't let him lift anything heavy and he has the weekend off so he can recover.
