Sunday while I was carrying clothes to the laundry room, Gizmo decided he wanted lovins, got tangled up in my legs and down I went. I managed to catch myself on the washing machine before I went completely down. I knew as soon as I caught myself that I'd really messed up my back. You know, one of those "oh crap" moments.
It wasn't too bad on Sunday, I just had to be careful with how I moved, but after I woke up Monday morning it was terrible. There's a definite knot in my lower back on the left side that you can feel. I made it to work yesterday, but after 2 hours of sitting at the computer I was almost in tears. So, I left early (even though my sup was being a pain and trying to give me a guilt trip) and went to the doctor.
Bascially, there isn't anything he can do. He told me not to use heat on it, use ice instead (oops, because I used a heating pad on it Sunday). He gave me a doctors note for yesterday and today and said if I needed more time to call and he would extend it. He also gave me muscle relaxers that are heavenly! I found out yesterday that I should only take them at night though...I took one and was out in 10 minutes!
Basically, I can't afford to be off work longer than today, so can I please get some vibes and good old fashion sympathy???
