Sunday was Easter for us, and I took the boys to my mom's where we had the traditional roasted lamd on a spit. George was suffering from a stomach bug which John had the previous day and Cody the day before that, so he didn't come.
I was playing with Cody and I tripped on a tree root, and landed on my butt. My left hip hurt a lot and I had difficulty driving home as every time I stepped on the clutch, my hip felt as if it was on fire, but ok, I thought nothing of it.
Monday morning my hip felt better but I was hugging the toilet bowl half the day as, you guessed it, I had contracted the stomach bug. After the 3rd or 4th time vomiting, my hands went tingly, then numb, from the wrist down. I FREAKED out!! All of you reading are artists who work with their hands, so you know what I mean, right?
I ended up in the ER... and now I am in a collar. No lifting, no bending over and I need to rest.
I always hate how doctors tell you to "rest". I am a mom of two, I work full time, I have pets people! I can't "rest"... and I HATE the collar :(
Today my hands are totally fine, I still hate the collar and my stomach feels like it could hold some food down, so as I am writing this I am eating some bread. In all honesty, my neck DOES feel better with the collar on. I need to go back on Thursday. I will need an MRI as my neck is a bit messed up. No wonder; I cracked a vertebrae when I was 15 in P.E. and it was only gotten worse from there lol.
I might need some physical therapy but I will eventually be fine :)
Hope you all had a great weekend lol :)
