Yeah, I was stupid. I pulled my groin hiking, then I kept going out and doing stuff on it, then I got the flu really bad for a week and a half and I think I did something bad while coughing one day in my back. Muscle relaxers help, but make me feel useless. I hate sitting around all day. Drives me nuts.

I can relate to that. When I was 18 I had a lung randomly collapse on me. I was standing in line for dinner at the campus dining hall. Supposedly that is not completely uncommon for young guys who are tall and thin athletes (at the time I was 6'2", 170 lbs, and on the swim team).

So anyway I had to have surgery to fix it and it laid me up for a good two weeks afterwards. The first four days were in the hospital, then I had to spend a good 10 days just resting on the couch pretty much. I was going out of my mind.
