Soooo, Thursday morning, I woke up and my back was killing me. I took some ibuprofen and tried to go back to sleep, but it was still hurting pretty bad. I took more an hour later, and it still didn't help. I tried walking around, laying down, and then an ice pack. That finally made it feel better, so off to work I went. It got progressively worse all day, and I couldn't find any medicine at my sister's house. I didn't want to snoop all around to find some, so when we picked up my nephew from the bus stop I asked a neighbor for some. I downed 4 ibuprofen, and it still hurt like a mother. I started feeling nauseated too and I was worried I might not be able to drive home, but I did, and Jon put Katie to bed and I lay on the floor alternating ice packs and heating pads. My mom has had back pain a lot, so I had asked her for advice, (which was the hot and cold) and I now have so much sympathy for the back pain. It probably would have helped more then huh! Anyway, still getting worse, I got an awesome blessing, and I felt a tiny bit better. So I got up to turn off our halogen lamp, and the head fell down on my arm, and gave me a burn. Then a little while later I started throwing up. Over and over. We finally decided it was time for the ER, so Jon's mom came over so we could go. It is SO NICE having them right next door. So I got an IV in with some Zofran and Morphine, (and a huge bag of fluid since I was dehydrated too) and eventually started to feel a bit better. But the nurse happened to put the IV tape right on top of the burn on my arm. It was okay until she ripped the tape off, and holy crap that hurt. They sent me home with some vicodin, but I could only take it if I wasn't nursing Aimee. So we tried to get her to take a bottle, and apparently she will now not drink from a bottle. So I took some aleve and tried to sleep on the floor. I felt better and better as the night went on, and I woke up this morning feeling so much better. So that was my long painful day.
Sorry for the downer post, but I wanted to get it all out!

I'm so sorry! I feel your pain. I was in the hospital Monday night with what I thought was back pain. Did it end up being a pinched nerve or something? I hope you feel better because I bet it's hard to take care of those two cute girls when you're in so much pain! P.S. I miss you!
That day sounds awful. I'm glad you are feeling better? How sad that Aimme wouldn't take a bottle.
I'm so sorry! Did they tell you what the problem was? You are one strong woman to have gone to work on top of watching your two girls. After the light bulb fell on me I probably would have collapsed to the ground and given up!
I am glad the meds helped and hopefully the back pain doesn't return! I love and miss you and your cute family a lot!
Crazy! I hope you're feeling better now!
Yikes! I really hope you're doing better now!
