Stir Crazy Day 3...
... I'm at home.
... I should be teaching in school.
... I'm going stir crazy.
... I need to play computer games to keep me sane.
Okay, the basics: on Tuesday I dropped-off my little girl at nursery and was carrying her after she fell over. I bent down to put her down on the ground (bent my knees and all), when I got back up my back went. FUCK IT WAS PAINFUL! I couldn't really move, but I decided I had to so, I forced myself up and on with the rest of the day - drove to school, spent a full day there, picked-up Leah from nursery and once home decided that the best thing to get rid of this pain was to lay down on the bed... 2 hours later I couldn't move at all.
After spending a night sleeping upright, or rather trying to sleep upright, I went to the doc's and he's told me that I'm off for at least a week in the first instance, and could be off for up to six weeks!
I CANNOT BE OFF FOR SIX FUCKING WEEKS!
So, I've been eating Jaffa Cakes and left over chinese food (Prawn Crackers - HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!) I've got some work to do from school, and then for the rest of the day I think i'll remain doped-up on Co-Codamol Caplets 30+500MG = yum!
And visit the sights and sounds of San Andreas! 
That is unless anyone can offer me anything else to do?!?!?!
Excelsior!
p.s: I'm STILL looking for someone to please buy me this: in XXL - Go-on you know you want to!!

If it is anything the the problem I had, you won't need 6 weeks to recover. A couple of days lying flat and then taking it easy for a little while did the trick. My doc suggested ibuprofen and it seemed to help more than other painkillers.
Still get the odd twinge. But not too bad.
Here is a get well hug, but a gentle one, so it doesn't hurt your back more!
