What happens when you combine an uncoordinated geek and icy steps? The answer is one sore back. One very sore back, actually.

I had to go out to a customer’s home today to take a look at some issues they had with some kitchen cabinets we installed. After an hour or so there discussing all of the options, I exited his home. We talked on his porch for a few minutes, at which point I shook his hand, thanked him, and left.

However, my method of leaving left much to be desired.

I stepped off his porch and onto his first, icy step. This is the point where my heels point towards the sky, and my back landed on the first step. I then got to ride down the remaining 15 steps on my back.

I felt a little sore naturally after I got up, but laughed at myself and was on my way. In fact, I felt so fine that I almost didn’t report it. It wasn’t until I went to lunch and sat in a booth at Dino’s Pizza for 40 minutes that my back started to really tighten up. By the time I got back to the store, I knew I needed to report it.

I didn’t fill out all the official paperwork because I didn’t want to go to the doctor. However, I have officially changed my stance. I will be going into work tomorrow and going right to the company sanctioned doctor.

I pretty much know what to expect, since this is not my first time injuring my back. The doctor will put me on light duty for about 2 weeks, some pain pills, and another dose of muscle relaxers. He’ll tell me to ice and heat, and to take it easy in general.

I do have to say that my back doesn’t hurt as much as it has in the past when I’ve hurt it. I equate that to the fact that I didn’t pull just a single muscle like in the past, but have literally beaten all the muscles in my back simultaneously.

Oh joy!
