OK, I've lost it............
Today I'm home from work with the worst backache I have ever had in my entire life, I kid you not. Last night I woke up at 3 in the morning and I had to use the bathroom. I couldn't get out of bed, or even turn over. My poor DH, he was trying to help but to no avail. He's a licensed massage therapist and even tried massaging the area (the very low back, a terrible area to have such pain). It still kept going into spasm. He gave me Tylenol at 3:30 (I was afraid to take aspirin or advil because I hadn't eaten in 8 hours, and I have a very sensitive stomach...that's all I need...back pain and stomach pain!). At about 4:15 I was finally able to force myself to get out of bed and get to the bathroom. I came downstairs, walked around, sat, walked around sat, etc. Nothing was helping to relieve this pain. I can't teach my classes like this so I decided to take the day off. At 7:30, when the Tylenol wears off, I will eat and take Advil. My doctor is in at noon so I will go to him then.
Now...why did I start this post with "OK, I've lost it..."? Because in the middle of all of this chaos and pain, all I could think was, "OMG, we're leaving in 5 weeks and I have to be in the car for a really long time...will we be able to go? What if this is serious and we have to cancel our trip?"
In the meantime, it is probably just because a few days ago, I lifted up my 5-year-old 45-pound son, wore flats (ballet slipper type shoes, I know I shouldn't), had a little discomfort yet continued to work out each day. Usually when I have some discomfort, if I continue working out that resolves it. Not this time...just kept getting worse. It really hurts...I think I would rather give birth at this point...at least then I had an epidural for the pain!
I think I need a hug.
But hey, we're going to WDW next month! Gotta look on the bright side right?
So I am sad that this trip is creeping up faster and faster and I am hopeful that my new scheme, I mean plan, will work out.
