Taking a Sick Day

If you are a Facebook Fan of Moms Need To Know, you may have read yesterday that I had some serious problems with my back yesterday.  I woke up Thursday literally unable to walk.

We went to the Urgent Care and they thought it was a pinched or compressed nerve in my back.  They gave me a shot and after about 30 minutes, I could walk around…..slowly, but at least I wouldn’t spend the rest of the day scooting around the house on my butt.  However, it started to get bad again last night and I woke up this morning in even worse shape.

We are heading to the hospital this morning.

I don’t know how long I will be there, but I am taking my laptop.  Don’t know if they have Wifi in the hospital ;-)

Wish me luck!

    GET BETTER SOON! Hope it is just a minor injury to your back.

  2. sharlene says:

    I will be praying for you! I’d say not to worry about the website-just get better!

  3. Katie says:

    Praying all is well with you Mindi and you will be better soon!

    Back pain is the worst.
    Take care of yourself first. We’ll still be here when you’re better.

    I’m so sorry Mindi!

    I have a great chiropractor if you need her name. She’s been a lifesaver for me.

    Good luck!

    And if it’s anything like my back problem, then I hope you love walking – because that’s the only thing that has helped me long-term. 30 minutes or more, Every. Single. Day. Now, a year and a half later, I can skip a day every now and then without pain, but skipping two days makes me hurt, and skipping a full week means I do the crazy shuffle instead of a walk. *sigh*

    So I hope it’s not like my problem. :)

    Good luck. I had this a few years ago at Christmas (wonderful timing NOT). It was the worst pain I ever had, including childbirth. Thanks to a great chiropractor I was able to function for Christmas. I did follow up with my doctor and PT.
    I sure hope you are on your way to a painfree weekend really soon!

    Hope you get better soon!! My husband had major back pain once a couple years ago, and his doctor did an acupuncture procedure on him, and it instantly relieved the pain.

    How about taking a REAL sick day and leaving the laptop at home? Hope it is nothing serious. Although a massage might be in order – purely for the medicianal qualities!

    Yuk! Back problems are the worst! Hope they find the problem and remedy soon…
