The Straw That Broke the Camel's Back

So, just when I think the week can't get any worse I manage to slip a disc in my lower back and spend the day in agony. I managed to do it when I rolled over this morning to look at my clock, the top half rolled, my legs didn't, my spine managed to separate my pelvis somehow and then flay discs about. Ok, that was slightly exaggerated, a disc slipped and trapped a nerve. The pins and needles are a pain, but there's not much I can do about it.

I still went into work and suffered through a day, which was a bad idea as now I can barely walk and the pain is worse than ever. I was going to go home at lunchtime, but Brother was taking his theory test today. It's funny, they say no-one passes first time, except for Dad and Brother I guess. I'm sure he'll be doing his practical test soon and will be out terrorising the streets in his own car, which I'm sure he'll be buying soon.

Anyway, as Brother was out doing his theory, Mum and Dad decided to make a day of it by shopping in Chelmsford. So, the only choice I had really was to stay at work, rather than walk around Chelmsford or sit in a hot car for a few hours. An agonising day whichever way it went. The day dragged on like nothing I've ever seen, all I could feel was pain up to this knot in my back then pins and needles from there down.

When I got home, I slept, exhausted from the pain. I woke at gone six, feeling terrible, really negative and pathetic. I had some dinner brought up (as I couldn't move) which, sadly, was cold when I got to eat it, but food was food. I had a lovely chat with Myriam over webcam, she showed me the bracelet she bought for me (it looks really nice) and we generally messed about as usual (which was difficult seeing as every time I moved it hurt more) and it cheered me up.

Myriam is awesome, she makes me happy. She calms me down, sure I still have my negative swings, but she normals me out, I'm nowhere near as hyper when I'm with her or talking to her. I'm constantly told that I shouldn't rely on other people, but I need some support right now. I also managed to knock over a glass of coca-cola all over my floor. It was a huge pain having to ask Mum to come and lay kitchen towels all over my floor because I can't move, I think she wasn't very impressed either.

It's early in the morning right now, I can't sleep because I'm trying to get comfortable. I'm typing this out on the iPad while shuffling about, my back is killing. I won't be going to work tomorrow, I don't know if I'll be able to stand tomorrow let alone walk anywhere. I have a doctor's appointment for Tuesday, which isn't with my normal GP, but it's a doctor I've seen before and she's very good.

I'm just sick of all this jumped up messing about, after all that's going on at the moment, my back has to give way. Quite ironic that the straw that broke the camel's back was the camel's back breaking... I don't know if I should laugh or cry. Talk about a comedy of errors.
