I realize I never post unless I'm complaining or sick. Well I guess I'm kinda sick. I pulled a muscle in my back last night. Badly. I couldn't sleep last night because of it. I couldn't get out of bed to go to work this morning. And after making a slightly painful trip to the local Acute Care center, I am the proud owner of Tylenol w/codeine, Motrin 800 and Flexeril. Oh and they gave me a shot (they told me the name at least 2 times and I don't remember what it was). They also took a pregnancy test and it was negative (yay!!!) but they had to do that before they gave me the shot.

All this because I bent over to get something out of my bag. I wasn't even trying to pick it up. I tried to bend over twice, got a twinge of pain. Then decided to squat (they say bend with your knees) and that's when the pain erupted from my back. I've pretty much been immobile since.

So, I was woken up by takaza, who happen to have duncandahusky on the line with him, calling to see how I was doing. It wsa then that Duncan (who happened to be in the area for an interview) offered to swing by and take me to the local Acute care center. Thanks to him not only did I get to the doctor today, but we stopped and got food and he took me to get my meds. I'm extremely lucky to have the friends that I have. thanks hon (sorry I didn't mention this in my orginal posting I'm on drugs)

And per my doctor, I can not go back to work til Thursday. Now other then the complete pain I'm in, I miss two days of work on this check. My check has been short for one reason or another for the last couple checks and I don't have sick days. Ah, well. I'm off to be in pain now.

Awww... poor kitty :(

I know it sucks not being able to do anything. There is only so much you can do laying in bed on your back after all.... :)

Be good.. get rest.. :)

You know, I wish I could turn that into something naughty, but I'm just in too much pain to care. :)

muscle fun

I know what you mean muscle-pain wise, as I just pulled a muscle in my left lower back on Monday, from doing a few too many situps. :o(
I didn't take anything for it, but as I could barely move with it right after it happened, I quickly started very slow stretching to get
the muscle a bit less whacked out, which after a few minutes, I got it down to about 50% of what it was, and it's been slowly receding all
week, as I've been careful to not move in any radical way back wise. I can still sense it upon waking up, but even that's fading.
If you're an MFM, I'll see ya! *hugs*

Yeah, I tried to stretch some shortly after it happened and I couldn't move to do it. Now I'm at a point, if I stretch really really really slowly I can feel a difference. Otherwise I just try not to do anything overly excessive.

And I won't be at MFM no moneys. But I'll see you at MFF :)

I hope to see you there as well, and maybe in fursuit this time! (How many times have I said this?) I'm really beginning to jones for walking around as my ratty self, so this time it might happen. :o)
I do hope you get better, as it really makes you appreciate the lack of (or much less, anyway) pain you usually have, and your usual ease of mobility. It's certainly no fun and you get nothing done.

See you at MFF, Hawkstress!! *HUGS*
