I tore my calf muscle
Walked out the back door, took the first step down, and felt something pop in my calf. Not a complete tear, just a slight to moderate tear, according to the doctor. It happened on Monday and it's slowly getting better but limping around and favoring my leg (I know, I shouldn't be walking around but I have to earn a living) has caused my back to hurt as well.

I'm miserable, right?

2. I'm to the point where I've learned to go slow

If I move too fast or turn the wrong direction it zings me! So now I move like an old, old man.

One good thing is my SO will now bring me a beer if I ask.

6. It is getting better, thanks
It's been about 5 days and if I move slowly I can avoid the zings and I'm almost not limping.
