My back hurts a lot tonight.

If you remember a while ago, I had a brief adventure with gravity that involved a ladder. I went to the doctor twice and my back still hurts like hell. It’s been three weeks to the day since I fell, and if anything, my back is even worse now than it was then.

I spent the day moving around twenty cases of mens’ dress shoes. In case you were wondering, yes, it does make a difference what kind of shoes. A case of twelve pairs of mens’ dress shoes can weigh two or three times as much as a case of twelve mens’ athletic shoes. They’re not light. And it probably didn’t help matters that I dropped a case of loafers on my head.

Anyway, my back hurts. A lot. I took some prescription strength naproxen sodium (Aleve) over an hour ago, and it seems to only have dulled the aching slightly. My mattress has a dip in it, so that won’t help things either.

I’m going to talk to my boss tomorrow to see if I can get an appointment with a chiropractor and have Gordman’s pay for it. It’s odd. Somehow I feel like I’m scamming the company, even though what I’m asking for is completely justified.

Hmm. Somehow I thought I’d get a more interesting blog entry out of this. Apparently not. Oh well.

Maybe next time.
