OOOOOWEEEE Back Pain is no joke!!! I don't know how people deal with chronic pain! I woke up in terrible pain in my lower back, left side and all the way down my leg to me foot, last Thursday. I made an appointment with a chiropractor on Friday for Monday because they weren't able to fit me in before that. I was feeling so desperate but with hope because surely the chiropractor was going to help! When Saturday night rolled around I couldn't take it anymore. I was in tears and feeling pretty hopeless as well as thinking I probably needed to see a doctor. Thankfully Adventist Health Rapid Care is open on Sundays! Big Daddy was 100% on bored because that sweet man hates to see me struggling. We headed out early to insure we were there a little before 8 am when it opened. When we pulled in there was already a line at the doors. We darned our masks and headed up the ramp because the thought of the stairs was excruciating! Fourth to be seen wasn't too bad. They were moving things along rather quickly. Big Daddy turned and looked at me and said "should I go in with you?" Absolutely! What are you crazy! If I could, especially when I'm feeling unwell, I would wrap Big Daddy around me like a cape and wear him all day! He makes me feel brave and safe. It ended up that my sciatic on the left side was having spasms causing my entire left side from the waist down to be tight and in pain. They gave me not one but two shots, one in each cheek-ish. Big Daddy made me laugh when I got nervous because they made each of us sign a document stating he was driving me home and I wouldn't operate large machinery (something about a tractor...). I started wondering if I was going to be hard to handle returning to the car. But alas all was well. Now, here I am day 6 taking something for the pain and some awesome muscle relaxers! Feeling tired of it! But everyday I'm better than the day before! God is faithful and my Big Daddy cape will be home eventually to love on me, make me laugh and ask me if there's anything I need. I love you my good husband and I'm thankful for you.
