PDEW i am in horrible pain
Apr. 9th, 2006 07:43 am I am in horrible back pain. I could barely get up. When I find a position that is halfway comfortable, every now and again I will be seized by a cramp-like shooting pain. I have to breathe through it, as if I were in labour again. I finally got upright and now I'm stuck in that position. It's easiest if I engage in soft movement: I hobble back and forth across the living room and sway. Even picking up the full hottie or the coffee jug made me feel pain. Going to the loo was not fun, the bending -- I peed my pants. Then it took me ages to get the bloody undies off and put new ones on. Fuck. I rang the out-of-hours clinic but there is no remedy for backpain; they told me to take some nurofen and paracetamol (which I did! Maximum dose) and 'have a nice hot bath'. I said, "I can't even get in the bath!"
I would like to distract myself with mindless SGA watching but this means I would need to bend down to insert a DVD or sit somewhere; I could do peripatetic watching, I suppose, by hobbling back and forth across a length of two meters in front of the TV, panther-in-zoo-like.
Writing this is making me somewhat better as the typing makes me write the funny side of it. Although it is not funny, and I don't want to laugh because that makes my back hurt. When I first got up, I was in tears; I thought 'I can do nothing!' Apparently, steroid level is lowest in the morning so it should get better -- so what to do about tomorrow morning?
I feel so fucked, and not in the good vaginal way. Okay, been rigid in front of the laptop too long (I am typing this standing up, with the laptop perched on top of a high chest of drawers); must go back to hobbling.
If this doesn't go away by Tuesday, I will not be able to travel to Mannheim.
Oh, I'm having a funny sensation in my fingers. I wonder if that's the nurofen kicking in and if I've given myself a
brightest_blueesque overdose?
Post something amusing to distract me! Or a link to something amusing (but not too amusing or I'll laugh!). Also, I like watching those SGA vids; if you know of any that are in an avi format or a mov format. T'h watched one of
shalott's vids last night and was amazed! "Wow, it's in time with the music and everything, this is fantastic!" I said, "This is made by the same person who wrote that novel that you keep reading on the loo." T'h: "This is amazing. Your people are amazing." Your people. Very Teyla Emmagen.
Oh fuck, now I've really got to be hobbling.
