Having a day where I suddenly can’t bend over without pain makes me really appreciate the Chris Hallbeck from a few years ago that decided to start wearing slip-on shoes.

This one wasn’t funny =( =( =( Hope you recover soon!
Gravity is just doing her job. There’s no need to give her flak for it.
And then you slipped on them.
Seriously, though, the last few years we had Ma, we all started to get her some of those gadgets for making life easier for the older folk. Not that she was elderly, but because when she got Arthritis as a teen, there weren’t as many cool gizmos for reaching, picking things up, soothing sore joints, gripping small items, or even giant TV remotes, that are around nowadays.
Gravity sucks.
Estate sales always seem to have at least one of those grabbers, some more clever than others. We’ve been collecting them for the next time my L1-2 and L4-5 pop out — NO fun! The exercises have been working, but it took a while. And with a left leg short 1″ (most of us are within +/-1/2″), the shoe lift helps too — so far!
