The Spendthrift's Progress

Effect, meet cause.

Oh. So that's how I wrenched my back.

See, the mattress and boxspring are directly on the floor. No bedframe, no footboard, no headboard. Just pure bed.

I recently realized that my stomach muscles have recovered enough that I can actually use them to sit up (for a few months after having the girl, I'd try, fail, and become very confused before remembering that I'd just had a baby).

I have a daughter who loves it when I play airplane with her. It's great. I'm developing upper body strength for the first time in forever.

The other day, I combined all three of the above. I let my upper torso hang off the end of the bed, and tried a stomach crunch variation on the airplane game. Later that night, my shoulder felt like someone had tried to pry it off my body. Being occasionally slow, I failed to put two and two together until a few minutes ago.

When I did it again.

This time, the pain was immediate.

Oops.
