What’s it like to run with potentially a couple of bruised ribs? And how about with a possibly bruised tailbone\/left butt cheek?<\/p>\n

I’ll tell you Sunday.<\/p>\n

The rain from this morning made the stairs a little slippery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was even being careful but apparently not careful enough. I missed a step or slipped on the edge and down I blowed. Crumpling to the ground, I slid and bounced another couple of steps before I could halt my descent downward. Really did a number on my backside. No blood, nothing broken I don’t think. But it sure does hurt like the Dickens. Which I think etymologically sues king comes from the idea of being hit with a hard back Charles Dickens novel repeatedly. That’s how I feel at the moment.<\/p>\n

Good thing I just have a five hour flight, a three or four hour sleep, then a ten hour tour to see some elephants and whitewater raft. Never let it be said I did anything smartly. I only do it if it smarts. And boy does my back smart. I’ve got Salonpas patches on me like I was a rescued velveteen rabbit stuffed animal.<\/p>\n

On the plus side, I treated myself to this to make me feel better. \u00a0I mean a word of mouth aftertaste? \u00a0Why WOULDN’T I try that!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hell, Baymax was on the wrapper! \u00a0I should be incredibly happy with my care.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve cancelled the rest of Guangzhou sightseeing and am now sitting in the airport for the next five hours waiting for my flight. \u00a0I may try and find a spot on the floor and just lay down. \u00a0I wasn’t allowed to do that in the subway… nor apparently was I allowed to pose like Burt Reynolds in Playgirl.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m going to try and find my stash of advil in my overstuffed carry on and just curl up for a few hours.\u00a0 That might be a mistake.\u00a0 Given the aches and pains of my back, it could freeze in the curled position.\u00a0 But I’ll cross that bridge when I burn it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
