Sweet spinal injury
Just thought of another quick one.

About four years ago I was with a girl and we were talking about sweets we used to get when we were kids and I said I not had a sherbet dibdab for years and I bloody loved 'em as a kid. She told me the shop on the corner of her street still sold them so I was up off the sofa faster that Usain Bolt with the shits and no botty paper on his way to sainsburys.
On the way back I felt a slight twinge in my back and the next thing I knew I was on the floor in agony. I couldn't stand, I couldn't sit, I couldn't do anything but crawl very very slowly on my hands and knees the rest of the way as it turned out I'd slipped a disc.
It was ten past nine when I left the shop.
It was nine thirty five when I got back to the flat.
How many houses away was the shop?
Three, three fucking buildings away and it took me just under half an hour to get back.
I'd gone from feeling like a seven year old kid again to an eighty year old in the space of about a second.
I was only twenty eight at the time. Arse.

What came after just made it worse but that's nothing to do with getting/feeling old just that I make some bad choices
when it comes to women but I'll leave that for another QOTW.
