I walked down my apartment steps the other day and Charlie Brown'd it, feet in the air, landing back first (ice I did not see, and not yet salted).
Ouch. So my back has been very sore since, and it was so bad yesterday I didn't think I could dance...but if I keep calling in to work, they are totally going to can my unreliable behind. I know it seems like a reasonable excuse, but I've already tested their good graces on my inexplicable stomach illnesses (too embarrassing to be all "I have IBS...I *cannot* dance when I'm sick like this"). I've already been warned about my flakiness is what I'm saying. Plus I have no classes until January so now would be a good time to go to work!
So what can I do to numb the pain, like today? It's not serious I don't think. I can walk, so the spine is alright. Robaxtocet or whatever? Extra Strength Advil? Yoga? Hot pads or ice packs? I never know what the best options are...whether I should try to stretch it out, or just leave it alone. I can do very boring stage dancing- I don't do much anyway. I just need to be able to get through something resembling a lap dance without squealing in pain.
