I just need to vent this out! My back is in soo much pain right now, I have not been able to sleep all night. I finally decided to get up take a hot bath and have a snack, which is helping me feel better (its 3:30am here) but I just want to be asleep!
My neighbor (and friend!) had the day off work yesterday and wanted me to go shopping with her, so I did. I love my friend but she can kind of be space cadet in the car and she parked like 5 blocks away from the mall (I suggested that maybe she park at the mall parking where she could get her parking validated but I think she was kind of flustered and just felt like she just wanted to get the car parked). Normally a 5 block walk is no biggie, I could care less but ever since my belly really popped out, at a certain point walking around with this belly just starts to kill my back. And not just achy, increadibly painful.
So we walk the 5 blocks to the mall and then of course all around the mall (its an outdoor mall downtown so thats nice). I was enjoying the time with my friend, found a b-day gift for my MIL but I felt like it was very overshadowed by my back just being in agony. I also felt like my friend wasn't reading some of my "hints" that I wanted to take a rest. We just kept going and going, walking for 2 hours, I sat down for about 1 minute a couple of times. I know I should have been more direct and just said "My back is in agonizing pain and I NEED to sit down for at least 10 minutes" but I felt embarrased. I felt like "I should be able to do this, I'm in such bad shape". Finally we headed back to the car (the 5 block walk). My friend suggested going to the grocery store together to pick up stuff for dinner but at that point I felt like I could barely stand up and I just said "I need to go home now, I'm sorry".
So anyway, once I got home I laid down and my back was just in awful pain, there was no position I could sit or lay to be comfortable. I took a bath and that helped a bit. I also went to bed early but just had horrible sleep. Most of the time I have been up due to my back pain and DH snoring.
We just got a brand new King sized bed this weekend which is overall awesome, but like any new bed it has to be "broken in" and I am still getting used to sleeping on it, so that didn't really help things.
Okay, I feel better getting this out of my system. I'm sure this post is so long nobody is actually going to read it but it feels good to get it out.
