Back Trouble...grrrrrrr

I had been fairly healthy back wise this last year or so, and a week ago Saturday I threw it out again :( How annoying!!!

We were having Saturday morning cuddles with the whippets. We have to get up every day at 7am to make sure Isis gets her meds on time, but on the weekends we like to go back to bed and cuddle with the Girls. Athena and Pandora sleep in another room at night because of my back.

This was the first Saturday morning cuddles since June as we had been going to the Bristol Renaissance Faire every weekend of the season. Unfortunately, Pandora REALLY cuddled hard into me. I stayed flat on my back instead of turning on my side... and the pressure from Pandora pushed my spine out of whack and stressed my muscles.

After a couple of days it felt better.... good enough to take the dogs for evening walks for 2 days. THAT is where I was stupid. It felt better but had not healed completely yet. Now it hurts like HECK!

I'm taking care of myself. Since I have had this happen before I know what to do, and I have muscle relaxers too! I think the muscle relaxers are what drive me nuts the most. They really make me sleepy.... and I KNOW that lying down several times a day is what will help my back heal quickly. It's just really annoying when I have bears to make!
