Eep, I hope it feels better ASAP, @frazil! That does not sound fun.

Fraz:  I hope that goes away as quickly as it came on.  Back pains are nothing to dismiss.  If you have it defined by a specific position it might be wise to have it checked out.  Feel better soon.

ICE ICE BABY!

(painful but it works for this old guy)

 

[snickerd3]

I feel you fraz!  I did the same thing on Saturday while picking up a bag of grapes at the store.

Inversion table!

Ever since I twerked my back, I swear by those things.

 

[tj_PE]

Twerking is so much better than tweaking. Keep it up @kevo_55! 

 

[kevo_55]

Someone noticed!

I've been wanting to get one of those for a while and now that I actually have room for one I need to pull the trigger. So you like it @kevo_55?

 

[kevo_55]

Yeah, they are nice.

I mainly use it for decompression when my spine gets sore. They can be used for inverted crunches or other work outs but I don't do that.

I bought mine at Costco. Just wait until after x-mas and they will be advertised around $200.

They're on Craigslist all the time in like new condition for <$100

It's expensive now. Just wait until you see them next to nothing at the warehouse.

Of course, junior has his first playground mishap while I'm away for the weekend (on an EB.com excursion no less). Somehow he fell off of this climbing contraption and dislocated his elbow. This happened while LadyFox was visiting family in northern WI where facilities are spread out hours apart. Apparently that was a bit of a nightmare trying to get EMT services to respond appropriately and then eventually treat him (which was apparent they weren't used to seeing toddlers). Needless to say, it was a stressful weekend for them. But I'm back home now and today we are waiting to see a specialist.

bummer!!!  they heal fast.  wont be the last.

 

[YMZ PE]

Owwie!!! Poor knightkit. I hope he isn't in too much pain.

 

[MA_PE]

Best wishes for KFjr.  I hope things turn out ok. 

 

[Supe]

Ouch!  Good luck with Minifox.  Thankfully they're still pliable at that age!

 

[leggo PE]

Eep! I hope he heals up quickly!

On the note of dislocated elbows... My college ex dislocated his elbow while snowboarding one winter. Since it happened on the side of the mountain, the ski patrol medical people came to him. They thought he'd dislocated his shoulder (since apparently that's a more common injury...?) and so caused him quite a bit of discomfort before realizing they were trying to fix the wrong joint.

 

[snickerd3]

ouch!!!

Part of me wants to home school Junior next year JUST to avoid the cess pool that is public school.  Junior has been sick for about three weeks, and I had managed to go something ridiculous like 18 months+ without more than a day or two of the sniffles (allergy shots were a life saver).  I had four days of my throat looking like raw hamburger, peaking on Saturday with a low grade fever and total loss of my voice.  Mrs. Supe has the same, though I'm on the mend while she is still getting worse.  Really going to make for a loooooooooooooong Monday.
