Feeling Better ... ish

I am vertical, today, if only because after 36 hours of being horizontal, my back finally said "No.  Enough.  Get your fat ass up."  So around 4 AM I woke up with horrific back spasms and no position I could take in the bed allowed me to sleep or even just lay still without incredible, clenching pain.

I got up, put ice on it, and since then I've been moving around. trying to stretch it out or sit in a position that doesn't kill.  So while I don't expect today to be one for productive thinking or writing, I'm at least present in this world.

Get thee to a massage therapist ASAP...and then to a gentle yoga class where stretching will help those spasms. I'm sending a hug your way, though the impact just might make things worse. Sorry.

Have a nice hot bath with some epsom salts or something like that--loosen up your muscles...feel better!!

Hugs! Have some of my nice soup I made--it'll heal all that ails ya!

I'm with Wordgirl. A massage would do wonders for your back. Go forth!

Just a helpful hint from yours truly...don't even sleep with a back brace on in an attempt to "heal" your back while you're sleeping.

Not that I know anyone who did this and had to call to be helped off the toilet in the middle of the night because she couldn't move. No one I know.

Hope you're 100% soon...

Hello!
I'm glad you're feeling better. I have also had a stomach bug for the last two days and it's not nice. At all. I feel a lot better now though, because I just read your Monster post and laughed until I cried. I have two sons, the eldest is 5 (and called Nils!), and they share a room. Now I know what to expect! It was great story, thanks for sharing!

Feeling better, that is.
