Hey!
I kinda/sorta understood when people said "I threw my back out".
What? They injured their spine while lifting something heavy? You're an old fart that tried to do something you should never have been trying to do?
I threw my back out suppressing a sneeze. Yes, you read that correctly. Suppressing a sneeze! Ha!
Let me set this up for you.
I was making some awesome, goodie-roonie ham sandwiches for my husband and me. All the fixings were on the kitchen counter and I was putting them all together. Yay! All of a sudden! I had to SNEEZE!!!! Like, RIGHT NOW! Rather than sneeze on the food I ... swallowed...??? ...held my breath...??? (Don't ask me. IDK what the he11 I was thinking. )
I didn't sneeze and in the effort to suppress the sneeze...my back locked up. (I'm an idiot. Kill me now.)
I had no idea what had happened but I knew I was in trouble. (I'm smart that way. )
I quietly called out to my husband. He came into the kitchen, took one look at me and said, "Siggy! What's wrong?" He came towards me and I said, "No! Stay away from me! There's something wrong with my back."
Long story short (Too, late.) EMS came and took my silly azz to the hospital.
(Do you have any idea what it's like to have to explain why you were in the hospital and walking like a human question mark? "I sneezed. Or rather, I refused to sneeze."
Have you ever thrown your back out? Do you know anyone who has?
Peace.
