A Professional in the family

It's good to have a professional in the family... or a soon-to-be proffessional in the family. By that I mean... your sibling is going to be in a specific proffession for the benefit of others... and for the family as well! =)

Some of you might know that my brother studies Physio... good thing he didn't study commerce.. haha!!! At least he can put physio to some good use on my bad back. That means free treatments for life and free massages! Recently I've had a sore bad back. I think it was because of lifting the chairs from the Perth Fashion Festival. Those little white chairs they have at fashion shows... the small little white foldable chairs... they look light, but they are really heavy. Anyway we had to move a fair few of them backstage... and I think that's when my back got "injured."

So this morning I asked my brother to do some massage or "physio" on my back. He's got the whole table with the circle to put your head in... the ones they use for massages. And he did his physio work on my back. I had a "knot" on one of my muscles in my lower right back which hurt so much when he massaged it. He put some deep heat cream... it's a bit better now... but doesn't help with I'm in front of the computer for a lot of the time.

But it's good that he's learnt so much in 2 years at uni - at least he has me to practice on.

Last time I remember I woke up one morning at 6am literally crying my eyes out because I couldn't move. My back was jammed and I couldn't even turn side ways ... all I could do was lay flat. Luckily I had my phone on my bedside next to my pillow so I called mum's mobile, and dad picked up and I told him to come to my room. I think he was really confused... haha... anyway I don't know how to describe the pain. It was just really really terrible! It really hurt a lot!!! So I had to call up work and say that I couldn't work... the whole day I was literally limping around the house making oompfing noises, it was seriously seriously so so painful. I couldn't move for ages... and took some panadol.

I remember it happened to dad as well when we were in our old house from his badminton days. He always played badminton too much and strained his whole back and then we had to call the doctor to come to our house. I still remember that day and it was the same as what happened to me, dad couldn't even roll over in his bed.

I guess it also comes from me having a long back. Being forced to sit straight all the time gets really tiring and I do tend to slouch a lot... so next time you see me slouch... SLAP MY BACK!
