A little ramble

It's been almost two weeks since I hurt my back. I can't tell ya what exactly happened, but all I know is that it hurt when it happened, and I have been in horrible shape since the day it went out on me. I still have really bad pain in the morning and at the end of the day. As long as I take 800 mil of ibuprofen, I'm okay. There is still pain, but it takes the edge off now. The first day I hurt my back I seriously was standing getting ready to go on a run. When I go and work out I have the kids follow me while they ride their bikes. I turned to help Bay with her helmet and out my back went. Immediate pain! I could barley stand. As the day went on, it got worse and worse. I went to bed and woke up in the worst pain I have ever been in! It was worse than natural labor, and I know this because I have done it! I tried to get up to go to the bathroom but when I stood up, I couldn't breath. I was in so much pain I couldn't relax. I had to lay back down. I called Morgan who had to come home, and I also called my sweet neighbor to come over and help me. She had to help me walk to the bathroom. She then, (being as sweet as she is) zoned my feet and cleaned my house!! Thank goodness for great friends! For the next two days I slept most the time. I was on some pretty good stuff :) Luckily, I hurt my back on a Wed and Morgan came home early Thursday and went in til 11:30 on Friday. From then on I had to do things on my own. It was hard, but luckily I had Bailey who was such a big help with Avery and the boys. She would get Avery in and out of her crib and high chair and carried her every where. When I was finally able to pick Avery up again, she cried for Bailey. Last Wed, I had Annie Russel come over and give me a massage. She used ice and heat and it helped out a lot. Unfortunately, the next day we went to WY and I sat in the car for 6 hours. That did me in again!! I'm glad the fam had some meds and I was able to rest. I had a lot of help with the kids. Today I'm feeling much better. The pain is mostly in my lower right side of my back. Tolerable but still no fun. I hope I'm better soon. My tummy can't handle all this ibuprofen!
