Good News from a Bad Situation

     So at the end of February, I took my kids to one of these trampoline warehouses (i.e. Airheads, etc...) for a birthday party and the kids loved it.  I hurt my back though, stopping quickly on the trampoline to avoid knocking my daughter down.  Figured I pulled a muscle in my mid-back or had a muscle spasm.  So, I figured no big deal, I'm getting older and it happens.  So after a couple months of nagging pain, I go to my doctor to find out I have a compression fracture in one of my vertabrae.  Holy Shit!!!!  This is freaking me out.  Bad News!!!!  So he refers me to a Orthopedist, and I saw him yesterday, kind of freak out about talk from my doctor of Vetebralplasty Surgery.  So he does some more x-rays, and it turns out I fractured two vertebrae.  Sucks!!!  It turns out the doctor is not really cocerned about it, because I basically had reached the healing stage already, and he sees no reason to do surgery.  Great News!!!!  So still no surgeries EVER so far in 42 years (almost 43)!!!!  Woohoo!!!!  Side note:  No more trampolines EVER!!!!  So short of jinxing myself with this post I can look forward to another couple months of nagging back pain while it finishes the healing process.  I'm going to ride this with the wife.  "Honey, I can't clean out the garage, no heavy lifting for two more months, Sorry!!!!"  We'll see how long I can go.  I need to rest and get some video games in.  Max Payne 3 and Game of Thrones today, and Ghost Recon next week.  Also, kicking around with Hitman Absolution Sniper Challenge, which is pretty cool for a pre-order bonus.
