[Viva la Vida, Coldplay]
So, bad news. I hurt my back. I don't know how, but moving is incredibly painful. The only way to not constantly grimace in pain is to either be on my side hugging a body pillow between my legs or to sprawl out on my stomach. Otherwise my lower back spasms and it's so painful that I want to throw up.
I just returned from the doc and they're putting me on muscle relaxers akin to horse tranquilizers (at least, that's how they seem to me) and a heavier dosage of vicodin than when I had my migraines last fall. I have to get physical therapy and I can't work for 3-5 days. Mind you, I have no paid sick leave and you have to work at my company for 1 year before you get any vacation (I've only been there 8 months... exactly two months today, exactly). So this is going to be very tough on the pocketbook since we're moving in two weeks. Very bad timing... I just have to trust Jesus.
I've been two pounds down so I hope that holds through Wednesday- I'll still weigh-in. For now I have to go lie down and pray that the pain subsides- thank you all for your love and support and I hope you understand why I may not be super accessible for a few days.
