I can't believe that I have to type this out, from a hospital bed.  The other day in my journal, I reported that I was having back problems, and I just figured it was "business as usual." Turns out, it was not that at all. I woke up the next day, with a bit more back pain-usually it gets better with time. I figured, I'm nearing thirty years old, so maybe I'm just getting old? I got to work that day, and what was awaiting me was a world of pain, and many pallets to off-stack. All was good for the first few stores, I ripped through the pallets as usual, though in a bit more pain. As the day progressed, the pain got worse. By my final store, I had 2 pallets to go, and just as I finished the store, I had to get one last bundle. Being that it was the weekend, the store had just got their frozen load in, and I ended up having to climb over their stuff to get my last product to fill the shelves 100%. As, I did this, I slid off the top of the load, landing on my head and my feet ended up going over my head, much like had I gone over the handle bars of a bike. Well, I tried to get up, and I couldn't. I screamed in agony and because of this a couple of produce workers in the next department came over and helped me. Ambulance had to come and take me away on a stretcher, and now I lay here barely even being able to feel my legs let alone move them. :-\  I'm awaiting the doc's word, to see what my future holds for me.  Will I have a future, will lifting be a part of that? At least I can still play my guitar, what I would do if I couldn't do that, I have no idea. Wish me luck ladies and gentlemen....  |

Good luck man and I Hope it's something minor. I used to do recieving and that sounds like the job you have now. Lifting alot of heavy unevenly weighted things can be very hard on the back. I only did it for a year but that was enough for me. Best of luck and my prayers go out to you.

Sending you all the best of thoughts and wishes for a quick recovery. With my back surgery just over a month ago, I know the pain and I know what it is like to have those thoughts running through your head. I have so many questions, like does the hospital have a strong ortho/neuro unit? What tests have they done / planning on doing? But for now rest and stay positive. As soon as you know anything, please let us know. BTW - I'm jealous, I didn't have access to a computer when I was in the hospital  |

YB,I am thinking of you and I'm sending a vibe across the entire Pacific Ocean that you will recover from this! I hope it is nothing more than a herniated disc because many of us have been down that road and come back from it... Take Care!!  |

I had a gut feeling but didn't want to believe someone here would joke about something like that. My kids played all sorts of little pranks all day, but even they are smart enough to know where to draw the line  Sorry, maybe being a bit sensitive here, but with everything I have been through over the past 8 months and still recouping from surgery, the back is no joking matter. |

I'm NOT amused. Some things are ok to joke about. THIS was not. Hey I'm mentally strong, maybe you're not? After many years of April Fools day jokes, I learned that whenever there is a joke or serious matter (especially online), first thing I do is look at the date! If it's April first, it's most likely a prank. But it's great to know that my friends at WOTW would be here for me (and everyone else) should a real event like this transpire. Does it make everyone feel better that this is the first time I've been able to pull something like this off? ;D |
