Fragile

 

I've been coping with a pulled muscle in my lower back for the last week.  It's slowly getting better but even dealing with simple things, like loading/unloading the washer when getting up and down from that level causes twinges of pain, has made me think about just how easily this self-sufficient independent life I lead could be derailed.

I don't know how I managed to pull the muscle.  Possibly changing the sheets a week ago and maybe moving sideways to lift the mattress to tuck in the sheets, or maybe while vacuuming and twisting about.  Carrying groceries home?  Bending down to a lower kitchen cupboard?
