I woke up Sunday morning at 230am, with a crazy pain in my upper body.. When I say upper body, I mean everything from the waist up. I got up, walked around, drank some water, and came back to bed, praying it would just go away. I walked around a little more, and sat on the edge of the bed. Weird thing was, I felt a sort of cooling/tingle go down my back, and the pain was gone… I figured it was nothing big, and laid down and fell fast asleep. Everything was ok when I woke up for the day, and I did whatever needed to be done… Around 2pm, it happened again. My entire torso was cinched in a vice. It hurt to breathe, it hurt to move, it hurt to sit/lay/stand still. I popped a couple of Aleve, and figured I’d be fine eventually… Nope… It lasted all day… It kind of faded in and out, but it stayed on. My mom suggested taking a hot shower.. and I did.. It helped for a little bit, but the pain came back. By evening, I had decided I was going to go to the doctor the first chance I got. I found my old bottle of muscle relaxers and took one just to get some sleep. 

Monday morning, bright and early, I was still hurting, and was determined to get to Yoga class anyway.. I was on the phone with my doctor’s office right when they opened, in hopes to get a same day appointment with my doctor. I got one, at 245pm… What to do with the rest of the morning?? I went to Yoga.. I’m that dedicated…

While I was doing yoga, it didn’t hurt.. too bad… but the rest of the afternoon, I was hurting! My parents got here around 2pm. Mom stayed home with the napping Monkeys… Dad went with me to the doc.. I had xrays, and they showed nothing wrong with my lungs or basically my upper half… It has to be a pulled muscle, or group of muscles. He gave me more muscle relaxers, which I think I’ve taken 2 of them. I’m so scared to take them during the day because of the girls. I have to be completely alert while they’re awake, or at least, when I’m the only one home with them. 

Dad and I went to the chiropractor just in case I was just outta whack… Wait.. no comments there… I’m talking about my back and ribs here… LOL.. It helped relieve some pressure on my back, but the muscle pain was still there. I think I’m just doomed… Back home, tried to clean up a bit, but OMG, it’s painful… Hmmm.. maybe I can milk this a little…*teehee*

So, fast forward through yesterday, painful day… I did what I could when I could, but I feel like crud!!! Today, it’s slightly better. I went through this super debate in my head this morning. You see, I’m leaving Gold’s Gym for reasons I’ve written about before.. and I only have 4 classes left with my super yoga instructor. I’m seriously going to miss taking his class, and I’ve tried to take as many as possible since I turned in my resignation of membership there. This morning, I went back and forth, should I go and suffer after, or should I stay home, hopefully resting so I can go on Friday? I was all ready to go. I didn’t want to miss class over a stupid bunch of pulled muscles. I was talked into staying home. Daddy and my parents told me I should stay home. Fine. I’ll stay home, but I’m not missing class on Friday… Dammit… 

So this is my sob story of the day… I’m sad I missed Yoga. I’m mad I’m hurting like heck. I’m stressed out because I need to clean up and get prepared for the next 2 weeks of craziness… wish me luck!
