No, not body insecurities, but body strain. I strained my back trying to lift a heavy box at work yesterday. Now I feel I can barely move. Enter steroids and muscle relaxants.
This is the first time in years I’ve experienced an injury of this magnitude. I’ve got limitations on lifting, on using ladders, on standing around. These are all things that are tough to avoid working in retail.
Truth is part of me regrets reporting the injury, part of me is ecstatic I did, part of me wishes I had just asked for help lifting the damn box in the first place.
I’m going to be grateful I work for a company that cares and that responds when employees get hurt. I’m going to be sad I’m the reason our injury free time has reset to zero. I’m going to be sad my movements are limited for the time being.
Here’s hoping there’s quick healing involved this time.
