I dealt with it for a week before seeing a Doctor and becoming a data point of negative for COVID 19 in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week was mostly pain and more pain. I hate with a passion pain sweats where one breaks out in a cold sweat because the pain is overwhelming. I had a lot of incidents of that. I was miserable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I babied my back and tried to figure out what I could do to minimize movement that aggravated it. Sleeping was difficult because it was hard to find a position I could relax and go to sleep. Then, while sleeping, I would flip and that would wake me up then back to finding a position again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was a mess and had to keep telling myself I was not failing my family because I was injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunday morning, I woke up and I could get up rather than spend half an hour trying to get out of bed slowly. It was amazing. I still felt a twinge, but I could move again. I got a lot done finally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I felt like my brain came back online for the first time in a while. I was not focused on the pain and how to avoid it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pain can be very debilitating. It can be all consuming. It can hit a point where there is no pushing through or pushing through is just going to make things worse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mentally pain can beat you down and make you question everything you ever did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am going to take a Mulligan on last week and get back to the projects I have to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am grateful for manageable pain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 11th, 2020 The last two weeks have been a bit of a challenge as I had done something to my back and I was in agony.
