Pop Goes The…Back?
Amazing. I was leaning over to turn the water on in my shower yesterday morning and felt a pop. As they are fond of saying in the medical industry, “The patient developed the abrupt onset of pain in her lower back.”
One thing about being an MT, you learn what doctors advise and prescribe for their patients. Immediately after my shower, I downed 2 ibuprofen. I kept taking it on a scheduled basis with food and took a half a Flexeril before bed. Although that area is still a bit painful and stiff, it would’ve been much worse had I not attacked it right away. No aerobics for me this morning, though. I know better than to push my luck!
I had something else to be THANKFUL for yesterday on this week of Thanksgiving. I had plenty of work and had a good line count. I worked 9 hours to try and make up for some time lost last week. Good dictations overall, so I had 1413.77 lines when I logged off. Woot! Crossing my fingers for a similar situation today.
Watch out for those killer water faucets! LOL!
