Someone please come crack my back!

Tried to do without medication today. Stupid mistake. Headache only got worse, along with my neck and back. I feel like if I just cracked a whole bunch of vertebrae, I would feel better.

Well, I gave in later this afternoon after a few hours of looking at a certain hatchback with my ultrarunner friend Grommit and took some codeine. Then just now, decided to down one of the last anti-inflammatories of my prescription. I thought my headache was getting better, but even my little desk lamp is bothering me. I had hope :-(

Anyway, good news is that I was able finally to feel like I got some sleep. Alarm went off this morning, I felt tired as usual but I said, "Let's give it a try." I shut my eyes and back off to la-la land I went. Yay ... rest!!

Went to the pool tonight. Caught up with David. Well, actually he caught up with me ... ha ha! I felt someone stroke my feet at one point, like he wanted to catch them and there he was! Finally starting to get more comfortable in the pool again, not a long swim, just 35. min. I miss the intensity of a good run though, sniff, sniff, but I don't plan any running for another two weeks. Just swimming this week, and perhaps a bit of the stationary bike. Mr. SB will be happy to see my return.

I miss my tri group. I miss my pre-accident health. I miss my headache-free head. I miss my paid-for Ford Escort wagon. Back to monthly payments ... sigh :-(

But the new car is COOL and it's this colour :-) My kids will love it, especially since I will be able to put all the snowboards on the roof rack.

Sorry if I've been sounding gloomy and whiny on this blog recently, folks. I'm actually much better than where I was a week ago, both physically and emotionally. I only recently stopped shaking from the horribleness of it all ... I'll be back to my old self soon enough. You bet your bottom dollar! And those who know me, know how stubborn and headstrong I can be!
