Kiss My Back and Make the Pain Go Away

[dotinthesky]

I couldn't go to work today, for good reasons. Saturday night, I was sitting in the TV room when I felt a jab in my back, as if something underneath the skin had been torn. It didn't feel particularly bad until 5 in the morning when I woke up and told Kevin that one of my kidneys had failed. Some invisible demon had broken one of my ribs, sharpened it like a pencil, and was plunging it into my left side. I took the last of my Nurofen and tried to go back to sleep.

Sunday was a pathetic comedy show starring me, where I couldn't stand up or roll out of bed without the help of Kevin or one of the Sissys. I kept taking Nurofen but the pain never really went away. I called the office this morning and left a message saying I would visit a doctor. But after a mid-morning bath, my back seems to have improved. Kevin is probably right: I pulled a muscle by sitting for a long time in an uncomfortable position.

I've been to the library today but couldn't decide on what book to borrow. I've hit Tesco Express and bought our dinner (I'm making a pasta sauce with bacon and mushrooms). I've got a quiche lorraine in the oven right now; it's calling me with its house-filling scent.

Here's a backdated post:

Eeek! Does sound like a pulled muscle, but horrible, nonetheless. I do that sort of thing occasionally with my neck and it really is crippling. It slowly does get better though. If it stops getting better you should really see a doctor :-/

Hope you feel better soon!

Sorry about your back; I get lower back pains whenever I lie in bed for too long a period (more than 6 hours). But it doesn't really feel like a pain, more like an uncomfortable feeling & I cannot easily bend over; usually goes away after a few hours of moving about. I'm re-reading Genet's Funeral Rites at the moment. Be cool..

Day off

I think brits deserve the 4th off anyway; in fact, you have more reason to celebrate the US's estrangement from England than we have at the moment! It's all too embarrassing...sorry about your pain, though. Glad you're feeling better.
