last friday, i was taking out my dog when it happened. it ain't the first time, it will hurt my lower back every few years. all i do is put on a heating pad and 2 or 3 days later the back is like new. except this time!!!! i was going to unhook the gate latch when all of a sudden the gods of my lower back threw a lightening bolt and it almost made me scream and pass out. i'd give the lightening bolt a 9.5 of 10 ten, the only reason i don't score 10 is because of screaming and passing out!!! i went into my house and sat on a kitchen seat, all the time my lower back was hurting. i thought i was going to pass out, my hearing was next to none, breathing was fast as well as my my heart. i started to come back after a few minutes. but my lower back was like electricity pumps thru it. i sat there for 15 - 20 minutes, then i went to a heating pad and my bed. i got settled as good as i can for about 3 hours and then i noticed i have too pee. it only took me about an one hour to get up, hobble to the bathroom, empty my bladder, hobble back and get into bed. i did this thru out the nite.
the next day it was still hurting, so i called my doctor. i told him what i did and he called in a prescription. my mom and dad had to pick it up. now, even tho i take prescriptions for my stroke, i'm not a pill popper. i never got into drugs, just because of the addiction to drugs(heroin, cocaine, crack.....).although i do have a coffee and bacon addiction!!! as i writing this, a 32oz coffee cup is with me(1/2 caffeinated and 1/2 decafe, i'm trying to go all decafe). i remember years back, i dang near cut my ulna(bottom of the arm) off. Doctors stitched it up and i have a scar to remind me not to do it again!!!! (i was POed about everything, i was young and dumb once. now its only dumb!!!!). anyway, they gave me percocet and two days after the "accident" i threw them away. i had advil to see me thru.
anyway, now i have cyclobenzaprine twice a day for a week. the first two days left me groggy so i went to sleep. the 3rd day (which is now) i got up, painfully, but ithe pain was not like it was. i'm going to do what the prescription tells me and i'll do some exercising but my rifle projects are next week. oh well, what else i've got to do? 😂 😂 😂
