If I had said no, I wouldn’t have learned about Soma
If you told me I was shallow, I couldn’t say a thing to you. Namely, whenever my ex calls me up for a favor I do it. And to tell you the truth, the only reason for this is that I sometimes miss the good old days, if you know what I mean. And she is kind enough to be aware of this and to reward me for my favors. The last time she called me over, she just told me she had to move something and that her roommates weren’t there. And when she says that, it is like I turn into a moth and her place into a light bulb.
So, I went over and I found out that she had to move her washing machine as the new one was coming in later that day and she had to get rid of the old one. The only thing on my mind was what kind of reward I will get and I completely forgot everyone my dad taught me about moving stuff that are heavy. I just went for it and the outcome was quite predictable, to say the least. I threw my back out, seriously. It happened to me before, but this time it was just insanely painful.
She rushed me to the doctor’s where I was told that I really sprained the living hell out of my back and that it will take some time for it to heal. The doctor also told me that the muscle is as rigid as stone and that the best medication for me would be Soma. I started taking it and it really enabled me to rest for two weeks as I was supposed to. Without it, there was no way I could even think about resting. The way in which Soma eased the pain and got rid of the stiffness in my back was just amazing.
And you know what the worst thing is? My ex broke of any contact with me. Turned out she hooked up with a guy who was delivering the new washing machine. That is karma for you.
