A year ago today

A year ago (aka the 5th of July) today, I got off the train in Paris, got into a taxi, and about 5 minutes late the taxi slammed on its breaks and I went flying. Turns out the seat I was in, was one of those that fold forward to let people into the backseat and it was not latched properly. So despite wearing a seat belt, I injured my back (bulging out two discs in my lower back) and then injured it again on the train from Paris to Brussels lifting my luggage. A year later I am still recovering. There is nothing like a year full of doctors, physical therapy, chiropractor, and massage therapy appointments to make one realize that injuring your back really sucks! So remember, a health back is important!
