I am sadly, living the era where a fair chunk of social conversation revolves around health issues.
Mobility in particular.
If your business is offering pain relief in joints, you must be in demand.
Back pain features a lot I have observed. Putting your back out seems to require less effort than one might think.
Many years ago, a girl I knew told a story that we can probably all relate to.
She had met a young man she quite fancied. They were at the very early stages of getting to know each other and were both young enough to still be living with their respective parents.
They had been to gym and were going to shower at his parents house, before they went out again.
Youth… That you actually have the energy for two outings. One of them gym.
So, she was in the shower, alone. And, despite being young and nubile, managed to put her back out while bending down.
So, she is in agony, immobile, and unfortunately in a bent peg position. With her head down by her knees and her naked arse in the air.
Did she call for help? No. She actually called for God to please end the world.
He did not oblige.
She realized that she would have to die in this position rather than face the humiliation of anyone finding her alive.
She also realized that she was unlikely to die before someone came to enquire why she was taking so long in the shower.
To add to her misery, the hot water ran out, so now she was being showered upon by the remaining cold water.
The only thing, she told me, that she could think of, was to try and turn her head and drown herself in the deluge.
I’d love to tell you that the relationship ended in marriage and three kids. It did not. I think she had to leave the country and change her name.
