I was snapping some 3/4 x 3/4 kindling to get my outside hot air furnace going this morning, to take the chill off in the garage. I lifted my right leg, bent at the knee, pulled up on the piece of oak and BAM! went right into a heap,(sciatic nerve,, herniated disk) could barely crawl away from the wood pile to my truck (8 feet or so) to get my cell phone and make a call. I ended up getting my first ride in a Ambulance today and had to spend most of the afternoon in the ER. My wood burning (as well as work) is over for a while.
I had a buddy come by to help me into the house, one of my neighbors stopped by and between the two of them we got me in the house. I was hoping that a little rest I would be "ok" but after 15-20 minutes I couldn't take the pain anymore and called for the squad. I got to the hospital and realized that I had no shoes on , I had taken them off when i got into my recliner and forgot to bring them! LOL
sorry if I'm rambling, must be all the narcotics they have me on!
