The Pain That Won't Go Away

I have had an incredible couple of weeks. And things are about to get even more fun.

This week is the birthday of my first daughter that I gave up for adoption. She will be 18 yrs old this Thursday. And for the life of me it does not feel like that much time has passes. It seems like only yesterday I was still very pregnant with her. And who ever could have imagined the way she would make her appearance into this world. But that is another story that remains to be told. Perhaps that is a post for her Birthday.

Today is yet another of my least favorite things to do. I get to be molested by a mammogram machine. And I do mean molested. At least that is what it feels like to me. I mean lets be honest who really enjoys stripping naked for a stranger, then having your boobs placed into a medieval torture device then photographed. Not the way I want to spend an afternoon. But alas it must be done.

But for now I am lying in bed in horrible pain. I have pinched a nerve or have pulled a muscle, because my neck and lower back hurt so much, I can barely move. As long as I don't make any sudden moves, the pain is in check. It is when I try to bend down or move quickly that it feels as though my spine is being ripped from my body. And the sad thing is that I want nothing more right now to jump out of bed in the morning feeling like I could jump skyscrapers. Or even simpler just to be able to go to the gym and work out. All I can do is suck down pain killers like candy and try to stretch and pray for relief.

So, for now it is time to get some rest. Send me some good drugs please.
