a trip to the ER



(source)

Had the hubby take me to Emergency on Saturday morning ... my back was even worse, no sign of improvement. Thankfully there was only one other person in the waiting room, yippie! I was so afraid I'd wait for hours, in pain. Still it was two and a half hours before I got to go home WAH! I was so miserable.

Anyway, prognosis = back strain. Had xray taken and given pain meds. Doctor says recovery time varies, averages about a week. Only the merest wisp of a hairs improvement, so frustrated. 

So tired of sitting and laying around ... whineeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


Happy week to everyone! Don't pick up any boxes that are too heavy for you or climb on ladders and pick up heavy boxes, like this complete nincompoop!!!

    Xrays only show fractures, so it may be just a strain, like I was told once, only to find out later that I had a herniated disc. So take it extra easy just in case. Watch lots of old movies and take lots of naps & don't forget, the ice cream, for your mental health. Hugs, Pam

    I sympathize - my husband did the same thing on Friday - it just takes time. Take care.
