Well karma has come back to get me

I don't know if it is karma exactly but it is still *sort of* funny. My work BFF and I had classrooms next to each other for years and years. We've told each other all sorts of things that you wouldn't necessarily tell just a random coworker or even friend. Years ago she was out of work for a week. . . because she put her back out putting on a pair of pants. I screamed with laughter about that. It was just so absurd. She laughed too and we agreed that getting old sucks. Hey I pulled my neck muscles just looking left at a stop sign. Well this morning I woke up early, made fruit salad jars for myself and a coworker, and got in the shower early. I was all ready to get into work and get going. Then I got out of the shower. . . and put out my back. It immediately seized up and I almost fell. I had to limp to this laptop to put in a sick day. I have one of those pads that you can either freeze or microwave to apply cold or heat to an area. I wish I had a heating pad but this is the best I can do for now. I'm not supposed to take ibuprofen, aspirin, or Tylenol due to stomach ulcers. I don't have any aspirin and I wouldn't mess with it even if I did due to my low blood platelets. I do have ibuprofen and I am going to take some of that. I'm sure I could get something like Skelaxin from my 2nd mom but I'm trying to avoid that. I'm hoping that a day of rest and heat will help the situation. So this is my comeuppance for laughing at my work buddy. She threw out her back putting on pants. I think getting out of the shower is even more insane.
