Sprained My Ass

Yesterday, while loading [livejournal.com profile] stonebender's lift into the van I managed to sprain my ass. Or more specifically, one of the large muscles on the left side of my ass.

The lift breaks down into two parts; the arm and the base. And the base, naturally, is on wheels. Both pieces are fairly heavy. As I was lifting the arm into the back of the van, I somehow placed my left foot on the base, which immediately started rolling to my left. I couldn't stop it and I couldn't put the arm down fast enough to use my hands for balance and remove my foot from the base. It quickly put me in a weird torqued 1/2 split position. Finally I got the arm down and was able to remove my foot, but it was too late, I'd already done sprained my big old ass.

And after all that, we didn't even need the lift for a transfer. Now that really burns my butt! Yep, I actually have a sprained and a burned ass.

Hey, didn't you get the memo? No one else can get injured, at least not until I am back at full speed!

Seriously, sorry you got hurt. Take care of yourself, okay?

It's absolutely striking how much you remind me of [livejournal.com profile] cassaclyzm in that user icon!

Well, no one can ever truthfully say you won't bust your ass for your partner.

Ok, I AM really sorry you're hurt, but how you say you're hurt still gives me a bit of a chuckle. Most especially since we didn't believe you were both being literal, and literally hurt.

I hope it gets better soon! That sounds inconvenient at best.

Hmmm... butt massage...

Why didn't I think of that earlier! Now the stupid ass is feeling better. ;-)

Nooooo! Not your booty! Didn't you get the memo that no other Fly Girls are allowed to get injured?

Seriously, I hope you feel better soon. Let me know if I can help.

*Giggles*
