For those of you who don’t see me every day… I woke up a little more than a week ago and needed assistance to get out of bed. Somehow the very act of sleeping had thrown out my back… bad. I went to the chiropractor 4 times last week, started a regiment of constant ibuprofen and ice to get the swelling down… I do some weird stretches several times a day to keep my back loose and limber. I’m nearly normal now. I’ve got some stiffness, but by and large I’m feeling okay.
Now I lead a pretty active life. I worked 12 hour days all last week, I’ve got a 9 month old in the house and we had a huge weekend here at church… I struggled through it as best I could, but all I know is that when I had my shoes off I could darn near function at a normal capacity. Why you ask? Because my feet are darn near prehensile… My wife just laughed all week as I constantly picked stuff up with my feet and fed it up to my hands to manipulate. So at some point, while she was laughing at me, I looked over at her, tried to stop wincing long enough to smile and said,
“THANK GOD FOR MONKEY TOES.”

Well usually, when I have a back problem, it’s because I’m acting like a moron and lifting too much to show off. This time, I did nothing out of the ordinary and just woke up all screwed up.
