I'm back up & moving (sorta)

[3DzMommy]

Last Sat Nov 1, 2008 my sister, a friend, and I went out to one of our favorate places to play cards, visit and complain about our kids N' men.  You know a girls night out kinda thing. We don't drink alcohol but have coffee or pop. It's been almost a month sense my sister was able to get out with us so I was looking forward to catching up on what's been going on with her.

Well the first thing when we got there I went to sit on down and the chair broke. I was thrown backwards landing on my butt and back. I hurt sooo bad and this drunk lady kept telling me to "get up, get up". I just laid there for a while crying quietly because I hate making a scene. The bartender was really nice she offered to call an ambulance for me. I knew I wasn't going to be able to get up even if I wanted so I finally said yes. I was just hopping that if I laid there for a little it would just get better like when you get the wind knocked out of you. Didn't work.

I was so embarrassed!!! I'm a big girl approx 250 but I'm not huge I had sat in those chair many different times. You get to the point you always check to see if it's wobbly before you sit anyways, I did check but apparently the welds on the legs were broken down already I was the proverbial straw that broke the camels back.  Like I said I have been there before and knew that some of the chairs were wobbly before I just assumed when you put it off to the side that someone would take it out of commission. 

I ended up going to the emergancy room. The paramedics were real nice about everything but man that neck brace ended up brusing me under the chin pretty bad. I had Xrays done and nothing was broken but I was in a lot of pain. They gave me a shot that really helped for a while as long as I didn't move. They let me go home that night.

I have been soo sore I have been doing the old lady-baby step-arched back-shuffle the last few days. I felt so bad I wasn't able to make it to my best friends son's birthday party. I sent my kids with my sister and stayed home in bed. I ran a temp Sun. & Mon. but it finally dropped Mon evening. I think the temp was my body telling me "you Meany you hurt me" cause I wasn't sick just in pain.

I was able to get to the dentist today but had to take a pain pill for the ride (40 min drive each way). I'm feeling a little better today but frustrated that my reg Dr. cant get me in for 2 weeks and that's for urgent care. They are way over booked and under staffed but at least I have insurance. I'm thinking I may have to get into the chiropractor next week if it doesn't get better and that come out of my pocket.

WHY ME?!!!

Well, I can't sit here any longer need to go lay-down again and take some ibuprofen and hope I can stand long enough to make dinner later.
