Saturna

so most of my week has been spent on the couch, horizontal, with a heating pad. i did something to my back on tuesday, making it nearly impossible to walk, stand or sit normally, or without some serious pain. i am talking as-bad-as-labor pain, only with no breaks, and no good reason. i do not say this lightly, for labor, as any woman knows, is absolutely no joke.

the doc (or the nurse practitioner) seems to think it is just some muscle thing, gave me some muscle relaxers and some analgesics, and told me to rest. hard to do when you have a two year old, but thankfully jah isaac prefers to walk, and jason has been lifting him most of the times it is needed. three days later and i am still having trouble with that walking thing. i look like i am nine months pregnant with my gait, or like i have something shoved up my rear. i am not liking it. aside from the pain i just look funny.

let's hope i can get through tomorrow. i took the week off work, but i have my normal dish gig as well as a five hour party at the push pilates place in the afternoon. i will be sitting down for that one and jason is going to load the gear for me. i have tried to save some of the pain medicine since they refused me a refill with that "personal" service they have where you don't even get to actually talk to the doctor. thanks, yo.

you would think i would have written more, with my laptop on the couch, but we haven't gotten through the "let's bang on mama's computer" stage. i'll have more updates when it is more comfortable to sit and stuff.
