Back spasms started around 5, couldn’t get out of bed, took one of the muscle relaxants my OB prescribed, NOTHING. Called OB on call, went to ER at 7, screaming/growling until given valium and percocet. Oh, and got rearended on way home from ER, no one hurt, car okay, but FUCK, high and still spasming but in that far away place and I jsut wanted to go HOME.
Waiting for Dave to pick up the percocent and flexeril rx, as it’s ramping up again –I’m on my back in bed with wireless laptop to email prfos and stuff.
First shared medical emergency with Dave, Learned a lot. Like, when the OB on call calls back, don’t hand the fucking phone to me when I can’t even breathe through the pain. ALso, in ER, come WITH ME when I’mbein wheeled in to triage. Weird though, since we’ve never had to deal with anything like this til now, but already feel way more prepared for the next time and/or lbaor stuff. In the end, he was achamp. Defintely gets the idea of a doula now.
I’ve never been in so much pain I’ve had to screamlikke that. Fucked up. More later.
Forgot to mention, baby fine, not at all related to my uterus or anything. ALL BACK.
That sounds horrible. Feel better soon! I’ll be thinking of you.
Oh man, I am so sorry you are going through this. I am also very happy that the baby is fine. I had intense pain around the same time in my pregnancy and it turned out to be preterm labor.
Do you know a good chiropractor?
blagh, crappy! hope you feel better soon.
ps: I love how your Recent Comments list now has things like “manmarie on DRUGS”
i haven’t read your journal in awhile, sorry to hear you are feeling so crappy. I really hope you are feeling human again soon. When boy and I are ready to have kids, I think I am going to take your blog to the store to do all our shopping. You have done the best research on kid/baby stuff. thanks.

This stinks and I’m sorry you’re in pain. The last 24 hours have been so rough! Take care of yourself, keep poppin’ those pills, and drink lots of water. And remember that the entire internet is feeling your pain. boo!

Sorry to hear about the pain! Hope you are feeling better!
take it easy. I’m so sorry to hear about the past two days! You’re in our thoughts…
Get better soon!
Wow, that’s awful. I hope the pain passes quickly for you.
But surely you tried pillows first????
Only joking, hope those pills kick in quick and the pain goes away, glad to hear everything is ok with the widget.
