Injury Timeout

Apologies for the lack of posts and comment responses in the last couple of days. Unfortunately I’ve been incapacitated with a screwy back. After years of being beaten, whipped, pierced and generally abused, it was a golf club that did for me. Or more accurately, my swinging of a golf club in a non-optimal fashion. One overly eager hip rotation landed me horizontal on the couch for two days with an icepack and a Firefly series DVD boxset. So safety tip of the week is stick to the whips and chains and steer clear of the Pings and plus fours.

I’m still having trouble sitting or standing for any length of time, so the next few posts will probably be short and sweet, relying on my image grab bag of fun shots. Here’s a perfect example of the type. Don’t know who it is, or where it’s from, but it’s hard not to like it. Two thumbs up indeed.

Two Thumbs Up

As I said, I don’t have an attribution for this, so feel free to leave a comment if you can help with that. I found it on the Pegging With a Smile tumblr.

    1. Thanks for the thought and comment Ferns. I’ve had a messed up back for years now, but it seems as I get older it gets easier and easier to do something extreme to it that lands me quite literally on it.

    1. Thanks Suzanne. I actually think the endorphins sex can help reduce pain, so it might not be a cure, but it could always be a help 🙂

      I don’t think it was head movement, so much as the golf pro trying to fix 20 years of my home grown swing. I’d have been OK on my own. It was the weird (i.e. correct) posture he was trying to twist me into that did it!

  1. Hi paltego,

    Check out “Treat Your Own Back” by Robin McKenzie. The exercises he suggests, trips to the spa, and adequate rest have helped me in the past year.

    Hope you feel better soon.

    Best,

    1. Thanks scott. I’ll check it out. I’ve got regular PT appointments scheduled, but I’m always keen to find stuff I can do on my own that’ll help things out.

      Cheers,
