Everything TWO

Happy TUES-day on 02/22/2022.  

It's been quite a week folks.  Cliff note version is my back went VERY OUT.  Visit to Urgent Care for all the drugs -- steroids, RX NSAIDS and muscle relaxers (my DIL drove me).  Add Dulcolax and Tylenol to round out my misery.  

Bought a TENS Unit which helps with the spasms.  It's only $35 on Amazon.  My sister recommended it.

I think I injured my SI joint after a hard Peloton ride (high resistance while staying seated).  The inflammation caused nerve pain and muscle spasms.  Worst back pain in my life.  Intractable -- made me vomit and then dry heave for 2 days.  Couldn't sleep.  

I canceled everything last week.  EVERYTHING.  Life coaching, cleaning crew, coffee, Spanish class (I just listened, but didn't participate).  Hubby was skiing with our boys.  Bad timing.

I'm finally trying to get up and LIVING today.  This is my first day in my office since last Monday.  My body feels broken.  My stomach from everything (including having no veggies to cook), my entire body from inactivity, water retention, joint pain.  Oh, and I got my period in the middle of it all.  

What a week.  I couldn't watch TV or read or listen to podcasts for a few days because the pain was so bad.  But then I cruised through a lot.

TV:  Inventing Anna, Tinder Swindler, caught up on Billions.

Books:  Both easy and fun reads.

Chip is adopted on February 27.  They had a family emergency so I'm keeping him until next weekend.  They are such a nice couple with another sweet blind dog.  I'm going to miss this old man!

That's enough catch up for today.  On the docket is life coaching call and Spanish study.  Final exam this week.  It got hard this week -- crappy timing to miss a week of practice. 

Later gators.
