On Saturday I twisted in a strange and unexpected way while getting out of bed and I did something to my back. A pulled muscle or whatever.
If I had left it at that, I would have been fine by the next day; instead, later that same day I foolishly carried an old toilet down two flights of stairs to my basement and made whatever light strain or pull I had into a major pain in the back. Yeeowch.
I would have separated the tank from the bowl, except that the 35-year-old bolts holding them together were completely fused and would not come apart. So weightlifting it had to be, and the resultant injury.
I was very slow moving for a couple of days, but I can finally say today that everything in my back has now returned to my usual pain-free status. This home maintenance thing really is back-breaking work! :)
