Sprained My Ass
May. 19th, 2006 02:16 pmYesterday, while loading
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.
