ohhhh… i remember this pain. it’s been a long time since back pain took over my life. i am completely disabled today and it is no fun. i love the new dining room set (which is, i’m told, mahogany, and not golden oak) but i wish i had been more careful in my exertion. luckily my doctors have given me some good painkillers to use until the pain fades, which it usually does after a few days.
so my friend tempy entered the new yorker cartoon contest and i think she has a legitimate shot at a win. check it:
“We’re not sure if insurance will cover him because of a pre-historic condition.”
Tags: back pain, pre-historic condition
Yay!
Brilliant! Gets my vote.
I’m beginning to think pre-existing simply means being alive! This came to me particularly after hearing the story at the Obama health care summit about the family who had to pay of pocket for all treatment of a baby born with a birth defect because it was a “pre-existing condition.”
yep. looks like a new yorker cartoon to me.
