08-9-2009 - Sept 8th, 2009 - Back Spasms

My mood while writing this blog: Hurting

---

♥ So I had a good day today, but at the same time a bad one. Over all, work and everything was fine. I wasn't pissy and no one pissed me off. But since yesterday afternoon my back spasms came back and today they hit hard and with a vengence THANKFULLY, they really started after I got off work. The intentions today were to come home, pick up my husband and we'd go out to the cemetary to see Autumn's stone. That didn't happen. My husband said he was incredible hungry and we only had an hour before we had to pick up our DS from school and then DH was off to work. So he promised me that we'd go tomorrow after I got off of work. He'd be off work for the day, no need to rush and we could both relax after it was all said and done with.

Well about the time we got to our favorite Mexican Restaurant, the spasms kicked in full swing. I had a hard time sitting still without wanting to scream. I even went to the bathroom a few times from being nauseous. Finally I said screw it and got a to-go-box and patiently waited for DH to finish eating. Once we got home I raced to the bathroom because I was convinced I would be sick. Nothing happened. Then I went to the bedroom and put Icey Hot all over my back and front. The pain starts under my ribs and then shoots all around to mostly my back. I took some tylenol and laid down for a 2hr nap. When I woke up it wasn't as bad, but still wasn't good at all. Applied more Icey Hot. I sat down at the computer and thats when the nausea kicked in again. Went to the bathroom and this time successfully got sick. THAT was fun. I got sick because I was in so much pain, and its all in my stomach and back area, it just makes me nauseous. Funny enough after I got sick I felt a lil better. I still haven't done much of anything but get up to go pee and Im still hurting some, but at least I'm able to move around. It's really difficult being the only adult in the house because the other is at work, while theres a 6yr old running around while, while I'm having horrible back spasms.

Since little man is sleeping now, I think I'll attempt a nice hot shower. Then apply tons and tons and tons of more Icey Hot all over. It really does feel sooo good. I can't take a muscle relaxer. I'd end up passing out unconsious and I dont like doing that if DH isn't home to watch DS.

On top of all this. I sat here earlier and it hit me. I am not religious at all. But I do believe MOST things happen for a reason, not all. And now I think I realize why things happened and we didn't end up going to the cemetary. Today ( Sept 8th, 2009) would mark 3months that Autumn Marie passed. Maybe the back spasms, the hungry DH, him waking up 20minutes late from his nap, all those things were some how a sign that today wouldnt be a good day to go. To just wait. I'm glad we didn't. Because if we had gone, and I realized what the day was, I would have been a total wreck.

Don't get me wrong either. I'm really having a good day today. I'm just in massive amounts of physical pain that I wish would go away. :) Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. ♥

Glad you are having a good day irrespective of the pain. Have your doctors told you what causes your pain (on and off like that)?
