Dave and I hosted his work holiday party last weekend. I had hurt my back somehow the day before, but this didn't stop me from working hard to prepare the house while Dave prepared the food. I took a break from prepping here and there to complain about the pain in my back and to ponder aloud whether I might be passing a kidney stone, but then I carried on for the sake of the party.
The pain got worse through the evening and I had to excuse myself twice to hide in the bathroom while waves of nausea passed. At 10:30, I couldn't take it any more. I microwaved a clay heating pad in plain sight and headed to bed. I was a little embarrassed, but since the pain was beginning to feel like child labor, I didn't much care.
Eventually I did throw up from the pain and eventually I did see a doctor. There's no clear reason why the back hurt (and still hurts) so much. It's not a kidney stone. Just an angry muscle. A very angry muscle. I'm getting by on ibuprofen every six hours, but I feel like there's more that modern medicine should be able to do for me. Probably I need some sort of body scan or other high tech intervention. Until then, there's occasional lamaze breathing happening here until the drugs kick in.
