Can't Move

I've pulled my back. I was picking up something from the floor on Saturday (cleaning day) when I quickly stood up and felt a sharp pain in my back. I was limping on the right side because of the pain.

I thought it was gone on Saturday night because it didn't bother me at the bar I spent many, many hours socializing with my new found friends.

Except, this morning I couldn't get out of bed. I had to roll and fall on the ground. When I tried to take a shower, I couldn't bend over the tub to unplug it and I fell over and hit the side of the tub with my shoulder. I lay in the fetal position on the cold tile floor crying and wondering why I'm living alone.

I took many walks today thinking that walking would help. It didn't. Any slight movement sends me into tears and crying fits.

I just realized something. I've been bending over backwards for a certain someone the last five years. No wonder my back gave in! He wants to come and see me on October 16-18. I told him I can't that week because of exams and deadlines. Mid-terms. I said week before or after. Again, he won't budge. It is me who would have to bend over. Not happening. My back cannot take it anymore. I need a chiropractor and a good heart surgeon after what I've been put through.
