I think going to the horse races and then handing out candy and helping with the pirate ring toss game at my kids church Halloween carnival was the straw that broke this ol' camel's back!
I hurt all over. Especially in my low back. I remember when I was an LMT many moons ago. My first job was in a chiropractic clinic. Some of the older patients would come in and say "I've got a hitch in my getalong".
Now I know what they mean.
I can handle pain. But it is the fear that it is not going to get better that worries me. I don't want to take pain pills. I did a little Ibuprofen and aspirin. But they only make my stomach hurt.
It is especially uncomfortable sitting. So playing the piano for choir practice tonight is out.
I went to the gym and just sat in the hot tub. I did a little walking outside. And stretching. But even that little exhausted me.
I stopped here at the library to write this blog. And then I'm heading home to put this on ice. Ice helps best. Alternating with moist heat.
And I hope time will heal!
And I also hope I will come out of this wiser!
They say these difficult times build character. My family might say I have enough of that!
But as I said in a previous post, this pain is humbling. I definitely took my good health for granted.
No more I say!
And I also say, "OY!"
Oh and Happy Tuesday!
