Today was a really bad back day. A lot of movements I made took my breath away. I laid mostly in the heating pad and sprinkled in lots of stretching. My right hip is now misaligned and is sitting about 2 inches higher than my left hip. My body is telling the muscles to work really hard to bring the one hip level with the other. As the muscles are trying to correct it, in the process they are knotting up and super tense causing waves of intense tightness and pressure on my lower back. Almost a stabbing pain.
So that’s been fun.
I did get up and move throughout the day but also did my stretches every little bit. Medications aren’t helping or offering relief.
My cousin had his Halloween party. We look forward to going every year and it is really fun. Tonight was no different. My costume was of David Michelangelo, the statue.
I went for a little bit but my back was screaming at me. I didn’t get to stay that long which sucked, but at least I did get to see some people I know and like .
Because my costume involved nudity, I made a “censor” sticker to go over the man parts. I taped it on.
At one point I noticed that their dog had something on her foot. It was my “censor” sticker. I had exposed my man parts to everyone. Oops.
I went home and went right to bed on my heating pad.
Yes! Your Halloween costumes are the best and make us laugh out loud! I'm so, so sorry you are in pain. Oh, I wish I could get rid of all this pain for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa. While it does suck, I am very hopeful that I can get my body back to being more suitable for daily activities.
DeleteIt’s so funny when your priorities change from “do I look cool.” To “can I put my own socks on.” Celebrate the wins!
