How are you guys doing?
I am not doing all that great. On Saturday, after class, I headed to my aunt's house to bathe her dogs and vacuum her house. She is in the process of going through chemotherapy and she asked if I would help her out. I agreed. I showed up at her house while she was at work. I vacuumed and then it was time to bathe the dogs. Her dogs are big and old and she has 2. I bathed one at a time outside and was hunched over while doing it. After finishing the second dog, I stood up and my back was HURTING. Apparently I pulled something and I can barely walk. That happened Saturday so today (Monday) I stayed home from work and went to the doctor. I got a shot in my hip to help with the pain (I didn't feel a difference), and I was given a prescription and told to take 600 mg of ibuprofen 3 times a day.
Have you guys ever had major back pain? How long did it last? I was hoping that by today I would feel a little better, but no such luck. Hope I get back to normal soon!!!
School has been going great...busy, but great. I applied for a scholarship back in December and last week I received an e-mail from Tulane saying that I was one of 13 people chosen to receive the award. I will be getting $3,624 for this semester. How awesome? I had to write an essay, fill out the application, and send tax information. I was so shocked and SO happy!!
My Power 90 set came in and I was going to start that off this morning but considering I can barely get out of bed, I can't. Hope that this back pain goes away and I can start back to my exercise and working out plans!
What have you guys been up to?
Congrats on the scholarship! Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteRarely.. but back in September I must have pulled something whilst doing yard work and it hurt for about 2 weeks.
ReplyDeleteGrats on the scholarship!!
boo about the back pain. i'd suggest seeing a chiropractor to help speed up the recovery process :)
ReplyDeleteI have been so out of sorts, I am just reading this. Hope you are already feeling much better!
ReplyDeleteHi, Shannon! I'm sorry I'm commenting so late - I was on vacation for 11 days, and then was sick for a few days, so I'm so behind on blogs! Anyway, I'm so sorry to hear about your back! I've been there! My back was out for 8 weeks once, and I mean out! It was horrible. I hope yours heals much faster than my did. Back pain is the worst.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the scholarship!
