SNOW DAY
Here are the kids playing in the snow and having a blast. They all played outside for hours WITHOUT fighting. I like days like that.
A pain in the back:(
Ok, on Wednesday, the kids had a snow day! Fine, while they played, I snow blowed and shoveled. Everything was fine. We built forts and igloos and had a good time. The kids played outside longer in the snow than they do during the summer...go figure! The next day, I get up, get the kids ready for school, and then I take them to school, everything is still fine. I come back home, eat some breakfast, and watch some TV. Now the fun begins! I go downstairs to wash my hair and as I am bent over the sink, my back just doesn't feel right. After I finish my hair and stand up..BAM it hits me hard, I pulled something in my lower back.
I try to go back up the stairs, which takes a long time and I tell my mom somethings not right. I go and sit down on the couch. It's uncomfortable but tolerable at this point. I go to rub my eyes and what happens? My glasses break!! Great, now not only can I not walk well, I can't see either! These are the only glasses that I have, so I slowly get ready to go to the eyeglass place and see about getting them fixed.
When I get to the store, I barely make it across the parking lot. I walk like a grandma, but I make it and they can only super glue my glasses and tell me how much it costs to get new ones. great, what a pain!. I finally make it back to the car and when I get home I cry because it hurts so bad. So, for the rest of the day, I lay on the couch with two heating pads on my back and try to get comfortable. The story gets better, so stay with me.
Around 6pm, I can't take it anymore and I ask my mom if she has anything that might help. She gives me a low dose muscle relaxer. So, I take it. About a half hour later, I get up to go to the bathroom and when I get to the door, my legs give out and I yell for my mom as I hit the floor. I pass out(which happens to me alot) for a few mins and when I wake up, my mom talks to me and ask if I'm okay. For some reason, I can't feel my legs, which freaks me out and makes me cry harder and my mom freaks out and calls an ambulance. As many times as an ambulance has come and got me, I should own my own! Anyway, they cart me off on a backboard and I leave my house screaming all the way, because they are jerking me all over and the pain is horrible and I still can't feel my legs. They feel like weights! I was scared to death. Turns out, I had a bad reaction to what my mom gave me. When I got to the er they gave me morphine, which made me feel wonderful and forget about my back! They tell me it's my siatic nerve being pinched. Boy it hurts!!
So, now for the last three days, I have been laid up on the couch, on pain meds and trying to get better. So, thanks for hanging in there for my story for today.
Don't forget to spring forward tonite.
