« Thursday Thirteen | Home | Back Again »
OUCHIE!
By Nancy Lindquist | August 31, 2007
I didn’t *do* anything. I got up, felt fine, went into the shower, again fine, then walked across the house. The bedroom to the living room saw a slight twinge. I furrowed my brow in slight irritation.
Three steps later, I was entering my dining room. I could no longer turn my head without pain. Something I discovered by having the sheer audacity to look over at the dog.
I grabbed my coffee and turned towards the family room. That was it. I did a full Quasimodo. Bent at the neck and upper back, I clawed my way onto the couch and moaned like a dying harp seal.
“What’s wrong, honey?”
I moaned again.
“It’s your stomach.”
I have a serious condition with my bile duct. It blocks off and sends bile into my liver. It’s horrible and nasty pain. This is worse. It’s a full nine if I have the gall to actually move.
“Back.”
“Well, what did you do to your back?”
This would become a familiar phrase over the last day.
I have no clue what I did. Whatever it was, it was bad. This is not ordinary karma, this is a smack. OUCH! I won’t do it again, just make the pain go away!
I’m on muscle relaxants, but those are not doing a dang thing. As long as I don’t move my head, or lift my right arm, it hurts, but is bearable.
It’s a pulled muscle, but honestly, this thing must have been stretched to the moon, and back!
I’ve also been told it will be a few days, till I feel normal again. Some have said weeks. NOT WEEKS!!!
