I called DH's office and got them to pull him out of the meeting he was in. He's coming home on the next bus. Still waiting on the doctor to call me back.
This is STUPID. This SUCKS.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It does. When I sprained my back a few weeks ago, it was like running into a brick wall. Hi, I'm here doing stuff and living my - WHAM! And poofter! life gone. On your back for 4 days. Icing and pain killers and no lifting of anything.

It's horrible. It's going to take you a while before it starts to feel completely better, and even then you're going to have to baby it.
At least that was my experience when I threw out my back.

Susan, that sounds awful. I'm glad to hear your DH is on his way home. Meanwhile, if Annabel wakes up, don't pick her up -- this may be more painful than your back -- but try keep her occupied in the crib with whatever you need to placate her. A favorite toy, a cookie, whatever you can toss her. She'll be okay until your DH gets home, and you might really need to put yourself first in this case.

Oh, Susan! You poor thing! I hope your DH is home. Please take it easy and take care of yourself.

Right now, I don't think I could pick Annabel up. Just getting myself from the living room, where this happened, to the bedroom, where she is, almost seems like too much for me. Thank God it's a one storey house, 'cuz I really couldn't do stairs. I just went to the bathroom, and the back pain made it ten times the ordeal it ever was right after Annabel was born.
Funny, I no longer care so much about that contest. Can I have all my finalist~ma transferred to continued nap~ma for Annabel, fast bus~ma for DH, and please-God-make-it-stop-hurting~ma for me?

Susan, you've still got all my ~ma, so direct it as needed.

Can you make it far enough to get some ibuprofen and some ice, Susan?
Backs just go out like that. The worst I know of is a friend who went to open her car door in a parking lot. Her back went into a spasm and she went down screaming next to the car. She had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance and stayed there for several days being pumped full of muscle relaxants.

But what does it actually mean when your back goes out? I mean, medically, what happened to me? And how long will it hurt this bad? Right now I'd be happy to spend most of the time lying on the couch if I could do little things like go to the bathroom without it hurting so bad.
Is this because I'm not really young anymore? Or because I need to lose 30 lbs.? Both? Neither?
(Really wish the doc would hurry up and call back.)
