So last Wednesday I picked up the minis from school and drove to the doctor. I finally was willing to admit that I had thrown out my back. Again. February 2009 I did it whilst attempting to repair my washing machine. I failed to fix it and ended up in physical therapy. So this time wasn't a shock. No clue how I did it, but damn, did I do it.
By the time the doctor arrived I was literally on all 4s on the floor in her office. My head was on the step of the bed and I was sobbing. After she injected me with what can only be described as a crap ton of Toradol she also gave me a prescription for Flexiril, Hydrocodone and my all time favorite; Phenergan. I am a real vom expert and we wanted to avoid that at all costs. We did not. The next 3 days are a blur of sleep, itching and endless vomiting. For real one day I slept 17 of 24 hours,
If you know me you know that I don't do things halfway. So today I ended up back at the doc, Because I had a reaction to the meds, i am covered in hives, I also have some crazy virus and an ear infection. Word. That's what's happening. I look like ET. Coach is at his wit's end and I am so sick and tired of feeling bad.
Today I landed some antibiotics and, wait for it... Prednisone, Oh yeah, girl got some legit steroids today. After one dose, I was torn whether I wanted to mow the lawn, run a marathon or die. A friend described Prednisone today as Superman juice, and it totally is! Except it doesn't make you smarter.
I took 5 minutes today trying to open a container of sea salt caramel gelato. It's a freaking screw top.

15 Snarky Remarks and Love Notes:
Ouch! I once ran a half marathon on prednisone. I rocked it! Hang in there!
Oh I feel your pain! I am having a colitis flare up and I am taking a mega dose of steroids. I feel like I could kill a buffalo for the meat while sobbing over a commercial for acid reflux!
Oh my goodness, I hope you feel better. I pulled my back out for the first time last year at Disney. It was awful. I can't even imagine being sick on top of having pulled your back out. Get well soon!
Sweet CG, I am so sorry you have had such a difficult few days! Hope you are feeling better and back to your awesome self quickly!
I sure hope you feel better soon! Prednisone makes me throw dishes and yell at my husband for no reason, so I am no longer allowed to have it. It sure does clear up your skin, though...
Maybe the severe vomiting is due to the hydrocodone? I am highly allergic to all things with codiene including hydrocodone....it makes me throw up for days and days. I feel your pain....get better SOON! ashley in tennessee
Bless your heart! You seem to be one of those lucky few for whom Phenergan makes people throw up. I'm sorry to hear about all of the unfortunate effects of the meds, though. I hope you're on the mend in no time, because as if being in pain doesn't suck on its own, being in pain and being sick "sucks squared."
Ok, leave it to me to hone in on the gelato. I bought that same exact flavor for Steve's birthday to top off his Mexican brownies. Deeeeeeeevine! And the weirdest container ever. Now, back to more important things. So sorry for your horrible back pain and reactions. Prayers for a full recovery.
poor Clemsongirl..as much as I hate to admit it..I loved this Post, becasue your writing is so darn funny and enjoyable..Rest up and drink lots of H2O with Prednisone..it will also make you feel like you can put down a Ryan's Salad Bar in one fell swoop too!

Good lord! You definitely take the expression "Go BIG or Go home" to a new level! Hang in there and I hope you rebound soon!!!
You poor thing. I hope that you feel better soon; that sounds absolutely awful. I cannot believe that you've thrown out your back twice. You'd think once would be enough to go through.
Oh you poor thing. Watch out for that steroid you will be fooled into thinking that things are better than they are. Please heed the advice, wish someone had warned me!
Wow! You're right.... you don't do anything 1/2 way do you. My youngest is seeming to be like that. A simple cold turns into ear infection and starts moving to his lungs. Hope you feel better soon!!!
OH no! You poor thing...you are to young, pretty and sweet to have to deal with this! Feel all better soon!!!!!
