today i am experiencing the worst back pain of my entire life. well, actually it's almost tied with the intense back labor pain i had in my first pregnancy, but it's still bad. i can barely find a comfortable position on my bed, and if i stray but an inch from what my sore lower back can tolerant, the flashes of pain from that pulled muscle make me scream and yell and want to cry. rolling over to try and get out of the bed and stand up is a lengthy, painful process. walking is in true zombie mode, shuffling, swaying slightly back and forth, avoiding the use of my right hip/lower back muscles at all costs. you'd think a fit person like myself would be invincible to these kinds of injuries, or so i proudly like to think.
so these guys pictured here are my best friends today. not that they solve anything, just trying to stay on the bed, use my cell phone to call others in the house to bring me something to eat now and then. survival. praying i will be able to sleep ok tonight and feel a tiny bit better in the morning.
this all happened, by the way, from all the trampoline-jumping at my daughter's birthday party this past weekend. Defy Gravity in Durham is a fun place, but maybe next time i should do some stretches first, or consider how old i am before going all hog-wild crazy at that place.
oh well. this too shall pass.
