Ouch!

I've done my back in. I'm wracking my brains for the silver lining: some life-enhancing lesson to be learned. There are several possibilities. None of them is fun:

1. All things pass.
2. Things could be a whole lot worse.
3. There is no pain without gain.
4. This is the hell without which there would be no heaven.
5. There's more to life than tango.
6. I am my will, but I am also my body.
7. Would this have happened if I'd bothered to go to yoga?
8. Lying down is OK.
9. There's a great, big Buenos Aires out there, waiting to be discovered – in flat shoes.
10. The museums are free.
11. The weather's not that good today, anyway.
12. I still haven't finished reading Evita.

Hmmm. I think I'll put the kettle on.
