MY BACK! MY BACK!

Wow, who wonders what it feels like to be a bug speared to a paperboard? Never me. However, perhaps I know something of this after my strange and dramatic Sunday.

I woke up at 9 AM Sunday after going to bed a mere six hours prior. Pain jarred me out of sleep, intense pain. Once I fully came awake I realized that I was trapped on my back and that every movement caused the pain to intensify. Breathing was the worst; a few shallow breaths had to sustain me.

Well I knew it couldn't be too serious as I could feel all my body and twitch all my digits, etc. Plus there was no pain shooting out of my back it was all localized in the center of my spine. After a few hours I could work up rolling over and then finally I could get up, but fell back down in agony. So I worked myself up to standing up from the floor with the help of a chair and succeeded. I spent all day in bed or sitting in a chair with ice packs. Awful! I'm such a always on the move person and I really hate being in one place for more than a few minutes unless I'm engrossed in reading. Even at most movies I get antsy after twenty minutes or so.

I'm on the road to recovery though. I can walk around allright and now lift something heavier than a glass of water.
