Oprah Winfrey celebrated her 59th birthday on Tuesday by having to deal with an injury brought on by Tyler Perry's gift of a TON of flowers. After trying to move some of the floral arrangements to a better spot in her mansion located in Montecito, California, the former talk show host sustained a sprained back muscle. The news broke on Twitter when Winfrey responded to a tweet asking about her birthday with this:
.@3lwtvin bed with an ice pack most of today. Moved a bushel of roses sent by @tylerperry and sprained a back muscle #birthdaylove

The headline picture above has some of the culprits pictured but no details have been released concerning the specific bunch that cause the back muscle of Winfrey to sprain. Oprah seems content to let the incident pass since her only birthday plans were to relax with Stedman according to the OWN founder's Twitter account:
Thanks everyone for your birthday wishes. Enjoying lunch with Stedman . No plans to leave p.j.'s all day instagr.am/p/VFXb75SS9F/ — Oprah Winfrey (@Oprah) January 29, 2013
So her birthday was not ruined, but this news is fresh in the minds of Oprah fans and supporters all around the world. What is to come of our special lady? Will all of these flower types never be featured on her "things I like" list? And what about the famed movie writer, director, and star Tyler Perry? He clearly has some explaining to do. It seems like Perry's heart was in the right place, especially after he apologized to Oprah with a note on his Facebook page. Perry basically explained that he sends huge flower arrangements for many occasions to all of his friends. It is his thing. What a great gesture. It seems like I should stop trying to put all the blame on Tyler Perry. For now, Tyler.
I wish Oprah a belated happy birthday and a speedy recovery. Hopefully she will learn from this incident and just leave the large amount of flower arrangements where they are or get someone to help (looking at you, Stedman). Plus, 59 is a great year for a woman of power and she started it off in a tremendous way: still all over the media for a pretty unimpressive reason but still entertaining. Oprah Winfrey can do no wrong. Literally everything she does and says is great. Do you ever turn it off, Oprah? I think not.
