It’s Tuesday.
Yesterday I woke up with the worst back/neck-ache that I have ever experienced in my life.
Not being one to “wimp out”, I continued on in my day, drove to Ft. Wayne for a meeting with the District Youth Cabinet, came back to Warsaw and put in a few hours in the office in the afternoon, too. Last night I even went to Bible Study and then – in an attempt to relieve the pain, took an extremely hot shower and went to bed before 10!
This morning I was supposed to join Jess and her 1st Grade class on a field trip to Fort Wayne’s “Science Central”. I was looking forward to this experience very much. When I woke up this morning, there was NO WAY I was going to be able to function as a useful chaperone on this fieldtrip and I opted to head to the office instead.
I came home soon after lunch time to work on some projects that I have going on and to attempt to rest my neck/back. I also stopped at Wal-Mart to pick up some much needed Icy-Hot that will hopefully relieve some of this pain that continues to make me cringe.
A neat link I stumbled upon (even before all of my friends started posting about it!) – “The 39dollar Experiment“.
Hope you feel better. Have you tried those heat patches that you wear around… they have them at walgreens, cvs.. forget what they are called. get better…
Soooooo sorry to hear that you have back pain. Oh dear, I wouldn’t wish this kind of pain on my worst enemy. Praying that you will find that whatever the problem is, that it resolves and clears very soon. May God heal your spine!
A few helpful hints: avoid stress; lie on the floor in position that relaxes your back at least 2-3 times a day. Look up stretching exercises on the internet and follow the ones that seem to give you relief. Find ways to position yourself comfortably….you can find ways to support your body with pillows, rolled up towels/blankets…….everywhere you ‘plant/place’ your body. DO NOT STAND IN ONE SPOT FOR VERY LONG AT ALL!!!!
You are in our prayers. Love and hugs,
Aunt Bonnie
