I only pressed the heart to show I had read the article. If I were anywhere close to you I would offer to make the tea and walk the dog. Of course, my cats would never speak to me again after they had discovered I had been consorting with the enemy...
May your healing be swift and your doggo better behaved!
A paper fucking bag did this to you?????? OMG, Marjie, I am so sorry you are going through this but please don't let your "often only a few weeks" doctor euthanize you! Is she insane not offering you treatment NOW? I hope you have someone down there to help you out! I truly am sorry and hope you tore the paper bag to shreds! Get better soon!!!!!!!!
So sorry, Marjie, to hear this, though I did laugh throughout the blog at your description of the pain and the interaction with the nurse, and the dog's antics. What a big drag! These things sneak up on us and come at the most inconvenient moments, which is any moment. Take good care of yourself.
Oh, Marjie, my sympathies! And I’m sure you’re not pathetically anything!
I’ve had occasional severe recurring back pain for fifty years or so after several loong days of tractoring on a sheep farm in the mid-west. It can happen again so easily, and yet it’s so very shocking.
I’m sending you strengthening thoughts and hope it takes a very short recovery!
Best of wishes from the record-breaking heat in central Mexico.
Oh effing no. My slowly recovering trashed shoulder (at least I had a fall to account for it) sends such empathy to you. I hope you can beg borrow or steal for a pt who does good body work to help you not seize up further and to help with the ouches and imbalances from the compensating you are doing. I’ve gotten multiple prescriptions and I keep repeating that I want to be able to lift weight, kayak and contra dance. All of which are true, but if you don’t keep at it, they want to like if you can dress, bathe and feed yourself if you are a female over a certain age. Good luck! I’d love a beagle but not right now…
Oh no, this all sounds awful. I feel like wishing you a recovery as quick as your wit, but that seems like a setup for disappointment... I do hope you feel better very soon.
OUCH! This is terrible. I feel for you. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I really do hope she doesn't euthanize you. I'd miss you, your Dad, and that damn dog way too much.❤
So sorry to hear that; I understand and have experienced sudden, intense pain that doesn’t match the cause. I will say that it’s a tribute to your writing skills that you can make self-pity seem appropriate.
OOF! I did this once, a long time ago, pulling an empty wheeled trash bin into the driveway, and I've been petrified to do it again. I feel for you, Marjie, truly. Here's hoping you have someone to take the pup out and bring you tea soon (be careful lifting that cup!!)...
Does an intercoastal muscle strain have anything to do with going from one side of the bay to the other?
I literally asked her, "Like in FLORIDA?"
😂😂😂😂😂
I hope you heal quickly.

Thank you! I won’t tell the cats

Thanks. Fucking paper bags…
I clicked the heart in solidarity, but I do not like that you are so sore.
I had intercostal muscle injury when I had flu that became pneumonia at 18. That was over 25 years ago and I still remember the agony now.
Get well asap!!
Thank you. It is indeed memorable. I’m sorry you got to experience it.
Owwww!!!! So sorry.
Well expressed! Thanks.
My Like on this post really means OMG I am so sorry
Thanks.

Thanks. It’s so ridiculous!
Oh that’s awful!! Poor you!
Take good care of yourself and don’t aggravate it.
Sending hugs.
Thank you. There’s a certain beagle aggravating it. I’m doing my best!
Oh also… is that Princess Bride quote?!? Quietly chortling…
Anybody got a peanut? 😉
Oh you set that one up for me!
No more rhymes now, I mean it! 🤪🤪🤪

“After several long days of tractoring” sounds so much better than “picking up a paper bag…”
Still, so sorry you’ve suffered that!

I’m sorry about your shoulder. Very cheap beagle. You should reconsider!
There shouldn’t even be muscles there. What a stupid design we are. Feel better soon!
That’s an excellent point. Thank you.
Oh no, this all sounds awful. I feel like wishing you a recovery as quick as your wit, but that seems like a setup for disappointment... I do hope you feel better very soon.
Thank you. Can I interest you in a beagle puppy?
OUCH! This is terrible. I feel for you. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I really do hope she doesn't euthanize you. I'd miss you, your Dad, and that damn dog way too much.❤
If she does euthanize me, you can have the dog and the dad!
I'll definitely take first dibs on the Dad! Anyone else for a beagle who acts like a beagle?
Wait… it’s a two-fer deal!
So sorry to hear that; I understand and have experienced sudden, intense pain that doesn’t match the cause. I will say that it’s a tribute to your writing skills that you can make self-pity seem appropriate.
Thank you. I'll move over on the couch if you'd like a seat. There's enough self-pity to share!
That couch better be damn big, I think there's gonna be a line... 😝
I'll order another one from Amazon

I'm going to kill her as soon as I have the strength...
