At 6:20 am this morning I had taken a shower and was dressed for work and geting some flannel sheets out of my linen closet in my bedroom when a shooting pain shot across my back. Dropped me to the floor, flat on my back. The pain was so intense, I couldn't move. Made a big move and got to the bed. Not pretty
. Waves of extreme pain shot through my back every 10-15 sec.
My daughter got me some ibprofen and I called the hospital ER. I was waiting for the ibprofen to kick in so I could drive up to the clinic. didn't happen, I called my doc and he said to call 911 and get into the ER. Hated doing it, but had no choice. He shot me up with some type of pain med. and I left with some scripts for pain and muscle relaxants. Needless to say, I've been flying high all day.
I was planning on stacking my firewood this weekend, but that plan is out the window now. I probably tore some ligaments when I was using a sthil pole saw to trim some high branches last week. Now I have to take it easy for a bit. (not something that I'm good at, or like)
