Ok, lets talk about how much this week sucks.

First I get a peice of something stuck in my foot, which is still there but a lot less painful. I can walk normally now and I can rub the spot without screaming. It’s still there though, the right pressure in the right spot hurts it’s just a 5 on the pain scale, not a 10. 🙂

Then my poor hubby gets sick, which sucks for him but isn’t too horrible for me.

Now, I’m sick, I have a cold or something but that is overshadowed by something else that happened this morning. I couldn’t sleep last night, at least not very well. I woke up at 11:30, 1:15, 3:08 and the last one is the killer at 4:48. I woke up at 4:48 because I had to use the bathroom, no big deal but when I went to move my head, I heard, and felt, the most sickening pop in my neck. The sound was quickly followed by pain far worse than any pain I’ve felt in my life. Worse than my broken arm, worse than the pulled muscle in my back, worse than the whip-lash from my car accident. The first thing I did was roll onto my back and wiggle my fingers and toes, I touched my face and head with my left hand. I wiggled my nose. I could feel and move everything, a good sign indeed. I still had to go to the bathroom though, and bad, so I tried to get up. Getting up was not possible, the pain turned my stomach. Needless to say, I was pretty fucking worried so I did what any normal person would do, I started to cry, this too was far too painful so I whimpered a little and tried to stop. I was just going to be still and wait for the alarm to wake hubby up. He was already awake though so I told him what had happened. I was able to go to the bathroom with his help. I put my right hand behind my head to support it and he pulled on my left arm and I got up. I couldn’t bend to lift the lid though so he had to do that. I managed to flush with my foot and sat back on the bed while he took care of Sara. I cried all the way to the bathroom and back.

I got a grip on myself while hubby took care of Sara. I knew though, that there was no way in hell I could go to work and no way in hell I could take care of myself. I couldn’t even get up on my own. With hubbys help I laid back down and put some heat on my neck. That felt wonderful. After that hubby set some pillows up for me so I could sit up somewhat and see the tv. After a little bit of rest I was able to get out of bed on my own, holding my head I could sit up on my own and even bend far enough to lift the toilet lid. After more rest I am able to get around as well as I did after my car accident and that’s about what the pain feels like, the whip lash from my accident.

The original plan was for me to go to the doctor when they opened but I decided against it once I was able to get up on my own and stuff. Since I could do that much hubby decided to go to work and I decided to go with him, so about 9:30 I took a shower, got ready for work, took an Advil, and here I am, sitting at my desk, at work. I think I’ll survive but I have no idea what I did that caused my neck to pop like that. I dunno what I pulled or injured but it didn’t feel good, at all.

This has been a really crappy week. I REALLY hope it doesn’t get any worse than this. Maybe the world was trying to show me that I shouldn’t have been such a baby about the thing stuck in my foot because things could be worse. lol I dunno, but whatever.

And no kittens yet. When I woke up at 3:08 though it was to the sound of Sophie next to me in the shelf scratching at her towel. She was nesting. When she realized I was awake she came out and wanted some petting.

And with that my sore ass is going to get to work.
