Announcement May 25 2021

I’ll be back in a few days!

Long story short, working out when your back isn’t fully healed is BAD. In my defense, it had been over 2 months since I’d first thrown out my back and I thought I was fine.

I did throw in the towel and go to a doctor and spent $200 for them to tell me there wasn’t much they could do for me, like I expected, but, well, getting the x-rays to say there’s nothing that needed surgery is always good.
TBH, I was surprised it was under $500, because the American health system fucking sucks man.

ANYWAY, I’ll be back soon, the end of the week by the latest.

    1. Some chiropractors have the means to treat patients sitting up, as well as other therapeutic treatments. Sometimes back pain can be caused by muscle cramps without any serious damage to the spine.

    1. Take your suggestions of how others should spend their own time in pursuit of political policy, and kindly go to hell with them.

  1. Will pray for your full recovery and the health and well-being for your S.O. My own adventures with healthcare has taught me that cash in full upfront can bring miracles that can’t be achieved with dragons’s blood or unicorn’s horns.

  2. Thanks for the entertaining reading material, but do not rush to come back and publish. Instead take your time to feel better physically and mentally. Your readers will patiently wait

  3. Take your time, get better and remember, we don’t pay your bills, so you don’t owe us more of your time at the expense of your own care.

  4. That moment you do sincerely desire for another person to rest and recover properly, but that little voice in the back of your head can’t help but look at ‘may 25th’ and ‘at the end of the week at the latest’ and deadpan go–

    ‘(nearly) two weeks later’

    –in the Spongebob time card voice anyway.

    (Not asking you to rush or anything. (Or even intending to in the slightest) Recovery is obviously more important.

    Just hoping that the casual sharing of this brainfart-y mood can make you laugh.

    If you happen to be anything like me, you’ll probably agree being stuck in bed constantly for health reasons is maddeningly boring, even for natural couch potatoes.)

    1. (I’m just into my 13th year of a lifetime sentence of bedrest. Just imagine all the pinched faces at the bedrest-zkaban jokes I made last year when the people around me complained how boring it is to stay at home during lockdowns.)

    2. Yeah, I recall how delicate backs are, the challenges of repair, and chalk the estimate error up to the previously shown tendency to take things a little too lightly.
