Little late but my fiance had the EXACT same experience (it was the deadlifts for him) at basically the same time (day after Thanksgiving) because he was also distracted by work stuff. Sending healing vibes to you as well since it's a pretty nasty injury to recover from :(

Your title is spot on for this essay.

Well titled and well written Matt.
