My back is really annoying today. I just woke up (normally) and after eating my breakfast and taking a shower, I went to my “office” (I call my room my office because that’s where my computers are located), and found out that my electric fan was malfunctioning because, well, it isn’t working. Looks like I’m going to have to rip it open and fix the problem. As most people engaged in electronic fixing would do, I bent down and removed the fan’s socket from the nearby outlet. And then it struck.
A massive wave of pain suddenly engulfs my upper back. Instinctively, I groaned in pain, and decided to punch the fuck out of the wall in front of me, for that is my usual stimuli when massive pain is introduced to my body. I then fell on the floor lying on my stomach. I lay there for five minutes, wondering if someone stabbed me in the back or if my body was just plain messing with me. I discovered that it was the latter.
I dragged myself into bed and grabbed the Electronic Nerve Stimulator. I stuck the two pads on my upper back and let the electricity relax my nerves by prodding them. Three sessions with this torture device later, my injury was still not alleviated.
I think I’m going to go out in town and get my back massaged and relieved. If I can get to town that is. Hopefully this problem would be resolved before I go to my orientation tomorrow morning.
