OUCHHHHHHHH
So yea, i threw my back out....dont ask me how cuz im not sure....it started last week when i pulled a muscle on the lower left hand side of my back...my back has been extremely sensitive since i sustained severe whiplash from the accident that caused my concussion last year, and im not supposed to be lifting ANYTHING or straining it in any way, but i guess i just over did it...and saturday i was babysitting my 7 month old cousin (soooooooooo cute) and i guess from bending over and lifting him and carrying him around all day i strained my back, and yesterday morning i couldnt get out of bed...i had to crawl on my hands and knees to my mom's bed at 5:45 am (cuz it hurt so much i couldnt stand up straight), bear in mind i was crying the entire trip to my parents bedroom, to wake her up cuz i was in THAT much pain...she wanted to give me 2 advils, i was like "ma, i take 3 advils when i get my PERIOD, do u REALLY think 2 is going to do anything for me???" she looked at me, nodded, and took out 4 advils...
i missed work today and probably will be out for the next week or two, i called my doctor today and he said there was nothing he could do for me, that i just need to take it easy and rest and see my orthopedist for x-rays (when you've broken as many bones as i have over the years, 14 to be exact, you get to have your very own orthopedist and everything!) so i called my orthopedist, and his first available appointment is thursday morning...THURSDAY!!! its only MONDAY!!! i said to the receptionist "cant u tell him im in PAIN???" and she was like "im sorry sweetie, but theres nothing i can do...he was on vacation last week for the holidays and now he's a little backed up"
damn jewish orthopedists...
so i'll just continue taking 4 advils at a time, and i want to kiss the man who invented that icy hot stuff, and hopefully i should make it to thursday....God i hope that really hot x-ray tech still works there....
