I finally got into my bed Friday night after two days on the floor in the office due to the snow. It felt great!!!
However…
I awoke with an old familiar pain. As I rolled over in the middle if the night, I had such a sharp pain in my back that I woke myself with a moan. Okay, maybe between a moan and a small scream. This happened throughout the night.
3 years ago when I weighed almost 300lbs, I injured my back while taking bags out if a hotel. It mimicked heart pain, so I spent a day in the hospital while they cleared me of a heart attack. Later this pain got so bad I had to live in a recliner for weeks and move as little as possible.
It is muscular and in my right middle back. It isn’t nearly as bad as it was 3 years ago, but I also weigh 100lbs less.
I went to the doctor yesterday and got Meds for pain and muscle relaxers. I can walk okay with just a small jab here and there, but rolling over in bed wakes me up.
So sadly I have an injury that isn’t from running, but will prevent me from running. I hope taking off a few days and not doing too much will get me out of this.
Last time this happened I was in so much pain I had to get an MRI. It found that I have 3 disks bulging in my neck (this was from a childhood accident), but nothing wrong with my back. I asked a good friend to ask people to pray for me and the day after the MRI I woke up fine.
Anyway I have a lot to do but don’t want to overdue it.
I still wouldn’t have changed a thing about all that I did during the storm. I just hope this clears up soon. I just signed TJ and myself up for a half marathon in April!!!
278 to Boston 
Glad to hear that you finally arrived at home. Injuries are always entirely disappointing. Just think about how much healthier you are this time and how much faster you will heal. Good luck and I wish you a speedy recovery.
Thank you. That is a great point! I feel better today so far, so maybe this will be a short recovery.
So sorry to hear this! I hope it settles down quickly. Hang in there!
Thanks! Hopefully. When I saw my doctor yesterday, he said, “No good deed goes unpunished”. He was joking and I have known him for a long time, but it does seem true sometimes.
Ugh. Get well soon. What a bummer for you.
Quite a bummer and thank you!!!
Praying it is nothing serious and that you heal soon!
And which half marathon did you guys sign up for???
Thank you! I can use all the prayer that I can get! We signed up for the Country Music Marathon (half) in Nashville. Should be fun if I can get in shape for it and don’t get hurt (more than I am). I guess just as long as I stay out of the snow, I’ll be fine. š
I’ve heard that’s a fun one!!
Oh no! Praying you feel better soon! ā¤
