Bored out of my mind..

Well, what a 3 1/2 days I have had....
Started, Saturday morning after giving my dog a bath. I bent over the tub to rinse it out, and the WORSE PAIN in my lower back hit me like a ton of bricks. Then I got really light headed. I slowly sat down on the bathroom floor, and hollered for Deon. He came to the bathroom, and sees me just sitting on the floor. He of course ask "Whats wrong?" I reply "I'm not sure, I bent over and now I have sharp pain in my back!" He slowly gets me up on my feet. With his support we walk out of the bathroom. That first step and the next couple steps, were the MOST painful steps I've ever took. Every time I took a step my back muscle would go very tight, to where I feel liked crying.

He got me to the bedroom (closes place to go, didn't feel like I could take another step) We got to the bed, was not fun to try to lay down, but I got there, and felt some better to lay there. I layed there for a couple hours, with my son Dalton waiting on me hand and foot. : ) Then when I needed to get up to go to the restroom, well that was probably entertaining to watch, but not fun for me. Thought I would be able to get up and go to the restroom, but could not hardly even get out of bed with out the help of Deon. He then helped to the living room to my recliner. I thought it might be better to sit. It was some what better. At the point Deon was thinking if he should take me to the ER. Which I begged him not to do.

So all day and night, that was where I was...in my recliner. Every time I needed to get up, someone had to help me. This was A LOT annoying to me. I am a independent person and now I was having to be dependent on people. My family was great, they have helped out a lot.

Sunday morning I got up, and could walk some what better. I still had to hang on to something, and that was usually a wall or table, whatever was there. I went to make my coffee, and Dalton was there beside me, and I sneezed. Oh yes, you heard me I sneezed! That was the most painful sneeze. If I wasn't holding onto the counter, I would have feel to my knees. I then went to sit down.

Later on while Deon and the kids were getting ready for church, I took my shower. Oh man that was a painful shower. I got out, and Deon came in to see if I was ok. I just broke down and cried. He looked at me and said "We are going to the ER" I begged him not to, but I didn't know win. Helped me get dress, and his mom came and picked up the kids. Off to the ER we went.

We were at the ER for about a hour. The doctor came in, exam me and then told me that I have pulled my lower back muscle. Which what I thought I had done, but it was so painful, we wanted to make sure it wasn't anything more serious. My muscle was having spasm. He prescribed a muscle relaxer, and told me if wasn't better in a couple of days to call my regular dr. So we headed home. Deon got me a heating pad set up in my chair, fixed my lunch, and then went to his mom for Sunday lunch (something we have done for years every Sunday, we eat at my in laws) .

Now I have to stay home from work for 3 days. So everyone left me Monday, kids went to school and husband off to work. So I have had all day to myself. You think oh that would be nice to have the house to yourself. Well....maybe if you didn't have to sit in a recliner most of the day and watch TV. Not a whole lot on TV during the day. Monday afternoon I did start feeling some what better, I was able to walk a lot better, and not as slow. But by that night I felt like I had done too much. I mostly cooked supper. The kids helped with a lot of things, that I didn't to lift. They have been a huge help, and so has Deon. My mother in law has too by picking the kids up for school, taking Savannah to piano lesson, and today taking them to their dentist appointment. I just hate sitting here and not able to do much.

But I know I need to rest and let my back heal. I diffidently do not want to go through that pain again. So aggravating. I am so thankful, it wasn't anything serious.
