Cant sleep update

As i lie here in bed not able to sleep cause i have insomnia along with the fact that ive been in bed for the last week for about 90% of the time; ive decided to write on here to update you all. And by you all, i probably mean like two people. ( warning: due to muscle relaxers the side affects could be slight depression and ive noticed im a little loopy as well sometimes)
Last tuesday while at work at 630 am, i bent over and felt a sharp pain up my back. I almost fell over. I lost my breath and immediately starting crying.. ( i had no control over any of this) Within 20 mins i was dizzy to the point of almost passing out, disoriented, puking and in extreme pain. We only have one car right now and of course i had it at work with me. Being in no shape to drive, i called collin and asked him to come get me. I had to call him again to inform him i needed to go to the ER. As i waited for him to get a ride to my job, i realized i couldnt wait any longer and asked my coworker to find me a ride to the hospital. A friend came n got me as collin came to my job, picked up the car and then met me at the hospital. I was tested for various things via blood and urine ( including a pregnancy test; which i inform you i am not currently pregnant). I also had a ct scan done.
I have never hurt myself more than a possible broken toe or a cut here and there. Ive never been to the ER nor have i ever experienced anything like this ever in my life. All tests came back normal. Result: pulled muscle; possible damage to disk in spine. Ive been out of work since then. Im on bed rest with ice and heat rotating ever couple of hours as the dr has prescribed. Ive been going to my chiropractor three times a week. She is amazing! Right now im doing good but there is still pain and im not 100%...and it will take awhile to get there.
Its frustrating to not be able to do anything. At first, i couldnt move well. I could barely walk. I have to sit to dress. I couldnt get out of bed by myself. I cant drive. I cant get comfortable. I cant lift anything, im supposed to rest all the time. And for me thats very hard. So here i am updating my blog at midnight bored and frustrated with the cards dealt to me. Overall, im being told im dealing with everything very well. That i shouldnt be in a rush to get back to how things were and i know they are right. Im just in a rough place today...

Been awhile

So i know its been awhile since ive been on here. I got a new job. Then i almost lost my job but thankfully i didnt. I am back where i belong. I am a supervisor at a house working with elder women that are intellectually challenged. It is the same house i started at when i started at this agency. I care for each of the individuals at this house very deeply and love working with them. Ive been back for almost a month. Ive had a lot of new things to learn. An ive picked up extra hrs and worked 6-7 days a week for the past month or so. Its been really crazy!
Moms in town with ashby and we have been trying to spend some time together. I think the next couple of weeks we will have more time for that. Its amazing to see how fast ashman has grown up. I love him so much.
Lets see what else is going on... Dads been in and out of town lately. Collin and i are planning a vacation to myrtle beach in august... We are gonna camp near the beach! We r very excited because its been 2yrs since we've been on a camping trip just the two of us. And we have never been there.. There a few big plans that will be going on in august...
Collin is looking into new job opportunities; mainly oil rigging... We hope to move in the not to distant future and we think this might be the time to look at changing jobs for him...
So thats really it... Oh my mac computer screen died on me... So i have to update my flash drive n external hard drive n then retrieve my info n then send it to get fixed but really i need to buy a new computer cause its 5 yrs old n apple wont have the parts to fix it in 6 months... Very sad cause i dont have that kind of money and i need my mac. :( ! Hoping my family just goes in together and gives me money towards a new one for my xmas gift this year. Forget individual gifts. I really just want money towards a new mac.
So thats my boring life... Work and some bad luck but overall good things coming my way... Or so i hope! :)
