Ouch

A quiet week last week, not getting up to much, until the weekend.

First thing Saturday morning I took a friend's scuba regulators over to his house (I'd picked them up from being serviced a couple weeks ago), then I rode over to Harry's to say hi. Got talked into helping him start to clear out his garage, so off we trotted to B&Q to buy some shelving. It's funny how much stuff is left over when you put items back into a space in a tidy fashion.....

Sunday and I was back over helping out again - Harry's mate James had bought his old Honda NSR250, and in return had sold him his hydraulic bike lift, so load the NSR into the MPV, drive it over to James', take the NSR out, move the bikes around in the room, take out the lift, put the bikes back in, put the lift in the MPV and back to Harry's, where we took the lift out of the van and put it on the drive. All good so far.

More tidying of the garage to make enough room for the lift, and then we picked up the lift - bugger! Bugger, bugger, bugger, ouch, ouch! I strained my back picking up my end badly! There endeth my assistance - took some Nurofen and then rode home.

Spent the next day and a half in and out of bed, dosing up on paracetamol and ibuprofen, struggling to move, and eventually went to A&E on Monday night. Saw the doc and got some Co-Codamol and Diclofenac to try and calm it all down. Still struggled so only went back to work today, and my back still sends shooting pains every now and again - enough to make me stop whatever I'm doing and freeze until they've passed!

Hopefully it all recovers soon :-(
