A painful (but still fun) evening

Hi girls,

My night was fun as usual but I had an unexpected attack of back pain. I had pulled a muscle in my back the day before and did apply heat. I wanted to go out Friday but rested instead as a precaution. However on Saturday some of my GG and CD friends were going out to a dance club. Because I had not dressed in 2 weeks (a lifetime for me lately lol) and because I was feeling a little bit better, I decided that I would go out and leave the house late Saturday. I was staying local just as a precaution. Turns out good thing I did.

It was a bit of an unpredictable evening. First the original place we were supposed to go turned out to be closed Saturday night for the holiday. So I called all the girls to tell them. We then picked another place to meet at. However that place turned out to have a $20 cover charge. When we all met there we decided that was too much and had to think of another place to try. We picked another place and drove there in our cars but this place was also high. So the GG's then said why not come over one of their houses where before they were having a barbecue anyway. So that's what we did. They wanted to go out to a club but not at the prices we were seeing.

However before we left for the barbecue, suddenly my back started to really hurt (from sitting in the car I guess). I let out this scream of pain. It's a good thing I was not on the road or I would have hit a car for sure; luckily I was still parked and was about to leave for the house where the barbecue was. One of the GG's there had some Naproxen and offered it to me; she said she sometimes has back pain and it works. I was in so much pain that I took it. I also asked if one of the GG's in the group could drive my car there and she did. That was nice of her. I wouldn't have been able to drive anywhere with the way I felt at that time and I certainly could not sneak back home as Steffie and risk being seen.

When we arrived at the barbecue, the medicine was starting to work and I was not in as much pain. The rest of the evening was fun. The GG's were really nice and we all had a great time. I guess it was a good thing I did not go dancing as I wouldn't have been able to dance anyway. One of the CD's there did some acrobatic moves on one of the bars. Two of the GG's later had some bet and the looser had to jump in the pool, which she did. It was too dark to take a video of that though. That was a sight to see though. Good thing no one asked me to do a chin-up (even one) or I would have lost; I could barely stand. lol

Usually at the end of the night I change back to male mode in my car and go home. However, I asked the one GG if I could please change back at her house beings my back muscle was still hurting a little. She was nice and said yes. This way I had room and didn't have to worry about further injuring my back. After I changed and came out of the bathroom, the one GG smiled and said "Who are you?" lol That's the first time I ever showed my male self to anyone after being out as Steffie. Anyway by this time I at least felt good enough to drive home. I got in by 3:30 A.M. Usually I sleep in Steffie mode (with my wife's blessing) but I thought it best to just stay in male mode and just sleep on a heating pad. I did. As I write this now I feel a little better now but I guess I'd better not push it for a few days, huh?

Pics and videos below. In the last video I didn't smile as much because the pain was starting to slightly come back a little more. Anyway I still had a good time in spite of the back pain.

You should have borrowed a bathing suit and sat in the hot tube. That would have been good for your back.
