I purposely did not write anything for the past week so that people could read the birthday notice I tagged on to the last entry. Anywho, I am back and don’t have much to update yet. Hopefully in the coming weeks I will have great news.
At the moment, however, I am suffering enormous pain in my back. I was taking a shower this afternoon during which I noticed I forgot a washrag. So I bent over about 70-80 degrees to the left to pick the washrag up when my back suddenly raged with pain. It shot up and down my middle back to the left of my spine.
Even as I type this now I can feel the pain. It initially almost paralyzed me and I barely finished my shower. The last half of washing myself was spent bending over as far as I was to be comfortable. Leaning up where I am in standing position is uncomfortable because as I breathe or move my muscles a certain way, the pain throbs enough to make me want to scream. I feel like I’ve been shot or something; this is a pain different from other pains I have felt.
The worst part is it forces me to postpone any plans I had for the evening and tomorrow and I am almost immobile. Arg. As much sitting as I do on the computer, I hate not being able to move around without feeling severe pain – enough pain to force me to stop moving all together.
