Things have taken a big turn for the worse with my leg. Was at the Doctors on friday and mentioned it, but it wasn't too bad at that stage and i thought it had sorted itself out.
Well things changed... Saturday it was a little niggly after my first gym session but I thought "I can handle this" and carried on. Sunday I had the big five hour round trip to Peat island for my client's family gathering and my back was a little worse for wear after all that spine bashing. I woke at around 2am Monday and could not go back to sleep because of the throbbing pain in my lower back and down my leg. I got up at 3am and paced, tried lying on the lounge and just could not get comfortable, and I was a blubbering mess. I called work early to say i wouldn't be in, but my boss was away yesterday, so I thought F#&*$ it, I won't muck around trying to call her on her day off (we don't get on well so that would have pi$$ed her right off), I'll go to work, I'll be more use than a casual anyway. Luckily one of the ladies I worked with has her massage diploma and gave me a massage which gave me some relief, but I was struggling.
I finally got into the Doctors this morning (after another sleepless night, and crying on the lounge at 4am trying to find a comfortable position), and have some lovely drugs to take (panadeine forte and valium to relax the muscles - yeehaa) and I am also trying to get a hold of the physiotherapist/acupuncturist who I've got a referral for. I now have four days off work, but I will be climbing the walls because I can't get comfortable, and I always feel hugely guilty for taking time off.
Anyhow, that is my tale of woe and feeling rather miserable and sorry for myself [:'(]. My other concern is I think I will need to cancel Fernwood for the time being until I am feeling better, or I also am thinking that maybe with current injuries seeing my former exercise physiologists would be the best way to go...... It's all going to drive me nuts
