Oh My Aching Back!!
I am being reminded very clearly, over the course of the last few days that:
Normal days are GRAND!
I have not had one in a few days because my back has been hurting, A Lot! Kevin thought he married a younger woman, but the past few days I am showing signs of being 80 years old. I walk hunched over, except for an occasional spasm, which takes me to bending over the counter ...frozen. As Tessa says "Not Good Mom".
I truly feel for others with back problems now that I am "feeling their pain". I have been to the chiropractor, taken medication and relaxed....with "some" relieve. The pain feels like a contraction of child birth, but with less break in between! But, the power of positive thinking, my chiropractor, and Bob Marley are telling me... "Don't worry about a thing, every little thing gonna' be alright" (But of course not soon enough for this Momma!)
The toughest part about this episode is that I can't be my normal "wife/mother Self" I have to rely on others to do the simplest of tasks....Frustrating!!! I am truly thankful for my amazing support system to help me out, swallowing my pride, I must say help! For now, I shall do what is best....Rest! Better back days are coming, I am looking forward to them for sure!
