Well, as I've already mentioned, Spring is in the air and planting season has kicked into high-gear. Wouldn't you know it, as we near the "beginning of the end" for our large-scale landscape projects (at least for the moment), a trip to the Emergency Room rears it's ugly head.
In what should have been a fairly routine trip to Home Depot (affectionately referred to as "The Depot"), to pick up some $70 Colorado Blue Spruce trees, the ol' back gave out. Tree numbers 1 and 2 were successfully placed on the cart and tree number 1 placed in the car when I stopped mid-step and exclaimed to my son, "Whoa, I think I threw my back out."
So, the folks in the orange aprons had to load the other three trees while I limped around picking the other two out. Then, I drove home, changed cars, and headed to the ER. Two hours to find out I have a "lower-back strain." At least there doesn't seem to be any permanent damage. Although I'll pay my primary doctor a visit in the morning. Oh, and the wife just called - she's on her way home with my pain meds and Taco Bell. Ain't life grand?
