And what happens as soon as I get the gear back?
Well, of course I manage to injure my back...
Old injury which first surfaced about three/four years ago, when carrying a washing machine up the stairs and I managed to snap the back badly that time.
Since then it hasn't taken much to get it snapped again - and about ten days ago at work I felt it twinge a bit. But I was still able to keep working, and kept going for the next week or so. Then last Thursday at the end of the shift the back just felt very tight and I was having trouble walking - I did manage to get home and was about to go to visit a GP. When I started to get these really strong cramps/spasm in my back and wasn't able to move.
During the next couple of days I was stuck to bed/chair and every time I tried to walk - I just fell straight back to the floor with the cramps.
Calling the NHS helpline they told me it was 'mistake' to walk back from work that last day, and I should probably take it easy for a while.
Weekend went pretty much with minimum movement and lots of pain when I did move. On Sunday I've started to move around a lot more (relatively speaking) and am able to keep walking for longer periods, without spasms/cramps.
Today I've even been for a little stroll outside - and managed to keep walking for almost an hour. Now all that need to be resolved is the occasional cramps when walking and trying to be able to bend-over a little..
As to when will get to take some photos again...hopefully soon.
