Vicodin is my new best friend

So I woke up on Sunday morning with THE MOST excruciating pain I have ever felt, even worse than giving birth to my two children!!! My back was so sore that I could barely move. I tried to suck it up and meet Jeana at the park but was in tears by the time I got there. So, I took the kids to my parents and my dad drove me to Urgent Care. The wait was 3 hours long and I knew that there was no way that I could wait that long. I called Jeana who had Vicodin at her house and went and picked it up. I immediately felt a little better and decided that I would just deal with it until today. I went to the chiropractor this afternoon and he immediately ordered me to get an MRI (waiting for referral from doctor) because he thinks I have a very inflamed or protruding disc. He says most likely I will have to get an epidural and we will go from there. I have had two epidurals before and they were lifesavers so lets hope that this one is too. In the meantime I am to take vicodin and ibuprofen. I cannot believe how sore and miserable this is. You don't realize how important those back muscles are until they aren't working properly. The good news is that Don is off the rest of the week. I hope this all happens quick because I don't know how long I can take this!!!!
