Oprah Winfrey spent her birthday in bed after she injured her back from -- of all things -- carrying one of her presents.
On Tuesday, her 59th birthday, she received a massive flower delivery from her friend Tyler Perry, according to Yahoo's "omg" blog. When she tried to carry them to the perfect spot in her Montecito, California mansion, she sprained her back.
In response to a friend's tweet asking how she spent her birthday, Oprah responded, "In bed with an ice pack most of today. Moved a bushel of roses sent by @tylerperry and sprained a back muscle."
Perry felt sorry that his gift caused Oprah's injury, so he posted an apology to Facebook on Wednesday: "I feel so bad," he wrote. "I like to send really large flower arrangements to people for whatever occasion. Well, I sent one to Oprah yesterday for her birthday. She strained her back picking it up. No joke! Feel better Oprah. Happy birthday. Sorry." He added that he'll only send Oprah one rose next year, when she turns 60.
Oprah didn't need an apology though, because she planned to relax the whole day anyway. Earlier that day, the Yahoo blog reported, she posted a picture of herself in her pajamas enjoying lunch with her boyfriend Stedman Graham.
She told Perry in a tweet, "No need to feel bad. Love the roses and got an extra day in bed. Can you say #icepack?"
