Well, not funny as in LOL, but funny in a weird way.
I've spent the better part of two days and nights pretty much motionless and up close and personal with my heating pad. I pulled a muscle in my lower back. How I did this, I have no idea, but with me and the weirdness of my back, it doesn't take much.
I haven't really done much of anything except fight this pain ever since it started. Just trying to stay calm and relaxed. I didn't keep up with what's going on here. Reading posts took more concentration that I had. I'd read one and try to come up with a coherent comment and the pain crowded out all thought except, it HURTS.
It really does a number on your mind. Your attention focuses on the pain, and thinking about anything else takes a lot of effort. I had to activate my new cell phone yesterday and I almost started crying on the phone with AT&T because it hurt so much. That would certainly have been embarrassing. I was loopy from pain medication, and frustrated and upset because I was supposed to go to my great-niece's first birthday party on Saturday and now I won't be able to. The pain is much better this morning, but making a three and a half hour drive would be overdoing it. Oh well...
I hope I didn't jinx it by saying it felt a lot better. That would suck greatly.
