So, I was planning on doing a post three days ago to commerate Justin's Birthday, which was last Thursday, but it seems my body had other plans....by that, I mean that I have been on the couch nursing Vicodin and ice/heat since Friday morning. UGH. ALL I did was reach down to pick up the vacuum cleaner cord, and POP! went something in my back. Now, I am not familiar with any kind of back trouble other than a few aches and pains here there, so until this morning, I had NO idea what had happened to me other than the fact that I felt like dying! The pain was a little show stopping, and Jeremiah actually had to come home from work and move me up to our bed...all the while enduring my screaming and crying. LOVE...that is what love is:) I think I left claw marks in each of his shoulders...haven't looked yet. The doctor called in some Vicodin, and I haven't moved much at all. Didn't realize how much I took for granted all the movin and shakin I do in a day until I couldn't move at all!
This has bothered my boys quite alot...I find them just staring at me laying on the couch...apparently this is quite disturbing to them as well...me being not able to move!! Travis keeps asking me if I am ever going to walk again! The worst part is, I was four hours away from going to the beach for a womens retreat with church friends...DANGIT! They of course, had a wonderful time, and the weather was beautiful I hear. I guess there is always next year. I don't think I will try and leave with a clean house next time...:) Maybe I should just give that whole thing up anyway...don't want to risk hurting my back again?!?!?
Anyhoo, I went to see dear Dr. D this morning, and she informed me that I have an SI joint that is seized up...whatever that means...well, it means I can't stand up straight. So, off to Physical Therapy I go tomorrow, in hopes that he can fix this whole mess up right away, and I can go back to normal. Jeremiah has had great fun making fun of my "newly found gait"...he says I look like my Grandmother did when she was older, all cock-eyed to the side. Hey, whatever works to get me from Point A to Point B. Also have a muscle relaxer to use at bedtime, so hopefully that will help as well.
When I find my camera, I will post pictures from Justin's 8th birthday...he enjoyed it and got some great gifts. Until then, off I go to find more ibuprofen, and hopefully I won't end up on the liver transplant list for taking too much!
