curious-me's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Polka'ing....it's not for wussies... The numbers game. 11pm � the time I went to bed last night despite having a really crappy sleep Saturday night. 20 minutes � the amount I slept at 7pm last night thus causing me to not be tired when I should have gone to bed early. 4:30am � the time Keith got up and I slipped in to our bed. 5:30am � the time that I was still shifting all over the bed since climbing in at 4:30 due to pain in my back and chest. 7:55am � the time I was AT work this morning. I can�t remember the last time I have got to work before 8am on a Monday! So that�s my day so far. I am in so much pain. I believe I slept on my shoulder or something as this pain wasn�t there when I went to bed and I don�t remember doing anything to cause it yesterday. I can�t lie on my back, on either side or on my stomach. Yah I can�t lie down at all. I can�t decide if I�m a wimp when it comes to pain or not. Is it really that bad or can I just not take pain? I�m pretty sure the pain isn�t spinal related ie chiropractic. I believe it�s muscle pain. The exact spot it hurts in my back is the same spot on my chest � I picture it as a pole poking through both sides. I have tried stretching (not recommended lying down when pain is at it�s most volatile). I tried taking a hot shower to relax the muscles and then doing some more stretches. Nothing. I was going to take muscle relaxants but they cause drowsiness and since I�m susceptible to pills and had to drive myself to work and once their concentrate I didn�t think it was a good idea. I did take a few Tylenol but as of yet I feel no different. Bah. Besides the pain I just feel exhausted. Obviously I didn�t get much sleep so that explains it. I just really hope this pain works itself out as the day goes on. Maybe the more I move the more it will help. I have already gone ahead and cancelled my blood donation tonight. I don�t think you�re supposed to give with a body full of pain pills. Plus? I was stressing myself out over my appointment tonight. I don�t think I mentioned it before but at my last donation I was turned away for high blood pressure. It was not a good day to be me. I had come straight from work after a wicked stressful day with CW and also the fact that I am prone to be on the high side anyway pushed me over the edge. I haven�t been monitoring my blood pressure at all lately and I just didn�t want to be turned away again. (Hi Wake up Call for Curious-me!) I was thinking maybe I should call to try and get a massage after work but then I realized how stupid that would be if I couldn�t lay on the bed without being in pain � real good massage! Massage is out. For some strange reason my hair today�.looks good. ----------------- And as usual I am posting this at night. I am sitting here with an ice pack on my back (well a bag of corn - close enough). I have a morning appointment with my chiro. It's a pinched nerve thing. Dangit. Pain pills are just taking the edge of the pain but it's a real bitch. Stupid back. Keith thinks I did a little too much polka'ing this weekend. My, how sad. Well I am really going to post this now and head to bed. I don't know what kind of sleep I"ll have since I'm not sure I'll be able to find a comfortable spot but I gotta try. I called my boss right after work and informed her I would be in late tomorrow morning. I get to sleep in half an hour extra - yeehaw. 9:31 p.m. - 2008-10-20 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
