I threw my back out today.
I must have really pissed someone off in the world of karma. My goodness.
I was running out the door because I was super late for my hair appointment. I had baby carrier in my left hand and turned to the right to get the door. It was out of my reach and I bent funny to grab it and whoa. Holy mother of god back pain. It goes up and down the left side of my back. Awesome!
Believe me people, I'm getting tired of my whining myself. I just want to be healthy, like I usually am.
At least my hair looks good.
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.
"I'm aiming for heaven, but I'll probably wind up down in hell"
About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Good lord woman! I can't possibly see you doing anything to deserve all this crap! (are you getting your schnark on somewhere other than this blog?)
At least you have good hair. It's the little things- especially after all this huge shit pouring down!
what rotten luck! well, thank goodness for your hair!
hope you get your back put straight soon & do TRY to stay healthy for a little while...
I'm sorry to say - I did chuckle a little, because, really, what else can you do at this point? Poor you.
At least this one, you can probably blame on pregnancy. Your joints are still loose. You should probably be wrapped in bubble wrap for a couple months.
Holy hell woman! I hope things start getting better for you.
Dang!! It's really one things after another for you now. You deserve some good health.
My God, the same thing happened to me. As soon as my parasite was gone I threw my back out putting LW's soother in at night. Then yesterday when it finally stopped hurting, I got a cold. NICE!! It's like a comedy of errors in our house. It's good to know that someone else isn't feeling so hot either!
I think you really need to crawl into bed for several days to reset your world, lol.
Argh. I've done that, except with my neck. SPent a week looking at the world with my head tilted,
