Oh Heath......








.....no words can describe it all.

Ice: 1 vs. Melisa:0

So I have to dish on myself as embarrassing as it is..........

Last week-end, I hurt my back...I know... I KNOW...how could this happen.... I am in the best shape of my life and only 25 years old!!!! HA! (No really I am 25! I promise!) Anyways. I don't exactly know what I did to it..it probably was the massive patient (176kg which in American wt is about 390 lbs) that was getting moved around all night and lots of strenous CPR was done. People just don't realize how much work it all takes. Luckily at a hospital there are lots of people ready to help out. Anyhoooo... my back started feeling sore and long story short I was flat on my back by the morning, unable to move with horrible spasms that just took my breath away. PAIN in the extreme form. My wonderful roommate was a lifesaver she had her mother see me and eventually took me to the Urgent Care where I recieved amazing drugs! It took a couple days but finally I am back up on my feet ready to go again. Being on you back and in extreme pain for several days really makes one appreciate EVERYTHING we take for granted!


Finally doing better and at least off pain pills a week besides the ocasional Ibuprofen...then the ice comes! Ha! So it I slept all day Monday and was getting ready for work and I decided to go check the mail..(now the intutitive people are laughing because you realize that Monday was MLK Day and no mail was delivered so this whole story becomes even more tragic!) Well I took one step out the garage and and blam fell on my right knee HARD and then on my hands and knees began to slide down the driveway!! I sure I was a funny looking site. I was first able to look up and see that to my knowledge no neighbors witnessed this event! Thank goodness! (Isn't that fun that I remember looking around first then the pain!) My knee! My back! My knee! My back! I do have to tell you that I did make it to the mailbox and of course had no mail, but I made it! Then I made it through a night of work but never was my bed such a sweet release in the morning! All is well again with some Ibuprofen and life goes on, cautious of the bad back and sore knee! ha! Woe is me!
