My days and nights seem to blur together anymore. My back pain is just getting worse. Seems that surgery I had back in May was nearly a waste. Sure, it got rid of my leg pain. However, my back pain is even worse now then before the surgery.
Last night and this morning was terrible. I'm not sure what time it was, but I woke during the night and screamed. I had a very intense spasm of pain shoot down my back. It felt like someone took a searing hot poker to me. The very intense part only last about 30 seconds, but the left over pain last until I passed out. Then Laney (our dog) woke me up at 5:30am. Wish she hadn't. Made me realize how bad I was hurting. My body was stiff with pain. So I had to waddle my way to the kitchen for some water to take pain meds. Which was difficult because we had no water yesterday or today.
My pain levels got a little better around 10am. Then again, having no running water, I didn't have any cleaning to do (well, none that I could do without water). Of course right around that time the twins became turds. I had to keep chasing them around the house. Put new diapers on because they kept stripping. Cleaning up their mess from peeing all over the place. Oh and the walk around the neighborhood to find the park manager to discuss the water issue.
Come 1pm, I was hurtin' bad all over again. Thankfully that's when the boys were taking their nap and I was able to crawl into bed. Brandyn was nice and said he'd keep an ear out on them for me. Normally I nap on the couch. But my back was hurting too much for that. They woke up before my alarm went off (2 hours later) but Brandyn let me get that extra sleep. He said it was only another 10 minutes before my alarm would go off anyway, so he didn't mind. That was great.
Evening went by quickly. We had sandwiches for dinner since there is no water to cook with now. After that I spoke with some parents, gave Josie a wet wipe bath (gross!) and then did the same to the twins. Once everyone was settled for bed, I did the same, crawled into my bed.
That's pretty much it. I hope I wake up to my alarms. Today I didn't hear them until 6:56am. One alarm is set for 6:15, the other for 6:45. One is next to my head (1st alarm) and the other across the room (so I won't be tempted to crawl back in bed). Still I slept through them. I do have a 3rd alarm, on my cell. It's set for 7am. If I reach that one then I have to rush out of bed. The girls can't be up any later then 7am or we're late getting out the door.
Ok ok, I'm done. Going to check WUAH one last time and crash.
