Good Morning!

It's mighty early here in the UK. It's 5.48am and I have been up since 4.30.

Yesterday I did something to my back and I have been in a lot of pain ever since.

I had a slight back ache but thought a walk would do me some good. Maybe the exercise would loosen up any tension. How wrong I was. Upon returning from the walk I sat down to relax with a coffee and magazine but couldn't get up when the time came. I virtually dragged myself along the sofa and had to hold on to walls and anything that I could to get my balance. I thought my back had set and would be better in a while. It wasn't.

I fear I may have a trapped nerve or something in my lower back.

I joked with bf saying it was like I'd gone from normal to being 9 months pregnant within the space of an hour with the discomfort and lack of being able to move around normally!

This morning, I wouldn't say it's any better or any worse, but I could not sleep. Every movement I made in bed was incredibly painful. Rolling over and getting out of bed were near impossible but once awake I feared the longer I lay in bed the worse it will be. So I am down here now, on my second coffee of the morning trying to relax as best I can.

The boys will be up in around an hour and I may have to wake up bf to get them downstairs for me as the stairs are one of the harder challenges. I will also be asking bf to get to the shops and buy me some more painkillers as soon as they open. Being a Sunday shops don't open until 10am and there are no Doctors surgery's open to get it looked at or diagnosed properly. I rarely take any forms of tablets, but there is no choice in this matter.

The hardest part is getting up and getting started. Movement of the right leg makes the pain worse. I can get around after a time but pro-longed sitting makes it harder. My body gets worse whilst in relax mode. I need to keep getting up every half hour or so, just so my body works as I want it to.

I feel like an old lady long before my time.

What a way to begin the six weeks school holidays.

In other news I had a wedding dress fitting yesterday. More like I had my corset top fitted properly. There isn't room for many changes when a dress is being made so close to the big day so it will fit perfectly.

My brother has moved in with his new girlfriend. All seems to be going well with her. I like her much more than the ex. She's certainly a better match for him and I wish them luck. She has a little girl from a previous relationship and I really don't think it will be long before there may be another baby in the family but we'll see.
