1. Does surviving falling down half a flight of stairs backwards count? |
|
I suffer from random bouts of vertigo and one hit on the way up the stairs - straight down backwards and I clucked my head on a shelving unit at the bottom. Blood everywhere. My wife thinks I had a concussion. She called 911 and I apparently gave the ambulance crew and police a bit of a time when they showed up! I didn't want to go to the hospital and my vitals were okay by then so they let me be. It sounds like they might have been glad that I didn't want to go. That was almost 3 months ago and my back is still in pain.

9. My wife is a saint. She puts that muscle rub stuff on whenever I ask for it. |
|
I have to be careful though. It can give you a false sense of security by numbing the pain and that can lead to doing things I probably wouldn't otherwise. Ibuprofen at night helps a lot.

2. I think Festivus is officially on December 23rd this year. |
|
However, my Feat of Strength is enduring reading my wacky militant fundy cousin's annual Christmas letter.
