Ow and Tired

Have I mentioned how much I dislike my skeletal and joint system?

As if I don't have enough to deal with on a daily routine, my lovely back decided I didn't have enough to balance out daily life.

It was actually a pretty typical morning, the dogs got me up and because Lucky is so tiny I carried her to the back door.  

That's when things went horribly wrong. I bent down and SCREAMED!

Of course, Steve came running. What did you do?

By now I'm sure you've guessed.  Ia had completely blown out my back.

Since I am not able to take much of anything to help any of this, I did what I could with: Ginger tablets, Turmeric, ice packs, muscle relaxers and threw in a couple of totally worthless Tylenol and prayed.

Nothing helped. I called my physical therapist to let her know there was no way I was driving a car. By the next morning, I was exhausted from the pain and the no sleep. I was also quite nauseous from the pain.

Knowing it was either throw up from the pain or throw up from the pain killer I opted to take some anti nausea meds and the dreaded tramadol.

At least I dozed on and off.

Made it through the second pill and went to bed. Woke up and there was the expected feeling that I would not be eating much for breakfast. Ate a little cereal and a banana. Definitely passed on my morning coffee. About 10 minutes after that I decided I didn't really need what breakfast I ate.

The rest of the day had me not only in pain but sipping ginger ale. I am now on day 5 and while I can't say the pain is any worse and only slightly better at least I'm able to eat some toast and tea.

I could use a few prayers right now, as this weekend we have family portraits and I am hosting I am hosting Passover.

I hate curveballs.
