I feel like a turtle stuck on it’s back.

Day 4 in bed and if I wasn’t working 12 hours a day, I would be going nuts.  The herniated disc hates me. The mornings are awful since the medicine has worn off by the time I wake up. Thru-out the day I still am feeling muscle spasms and numb electric shocks down to my toes. At least this reminds me to not take sitting up for granted. I’m okay walking but sitting still is a joke. I haven’t left the house since going to the doctor on Monday – and if you know me, you know that I am not a homebody.

Last night I took 2 hydrocodone. That is what was prescribed to me – but i’m just weird about being extra cautious when taking pain meds, so had only been taking 1. About an hour after popping the pills I started itching like mad. My hair felt like it was falling out and I could not sleep.  Exactly what I needed to make the situation better.

My husband is a rock star. He totally has taken on the role of Mr. Mom. The kids have been great. Z gave me a back rub tonight. E drew me a picture.

I didn’t make it to Nashville. Yesterday, it became obvious traveling was not an option. Spent today on an all day conference call. There is so much exciting stuff going on, just hate that I couldn’t be there to discuss it live.

Tonight I’m trying a new muscle relaxer. Hoping this makes the pain disappear and allows me to sleep. Wish me luck.

Go away herniated disc!
