Back to Back Crap

My back was sore yesterday. Today it hurts. I think and hope that is due to the long car trip on Sunday. But is sucks. Big time.  You truly cannot appreciate feeling well until you do not. As I struggled to stand from the rug this am during a Pre-K class, a little boy whose mother is also pregnant, inquired "Is it hard for you to get up because of your belly?" (I wish, it was the back pain). Later when I opted for a chair instead of getting all the way down to the rug, an older child asked me "Are you sitting in a chair because your back hurts?" These kids remember what it was like when I was immobilized by pain. On the upside, when I went to PT this pm (ouch!), a secretary who I interact with every week saw me (she is usually sitting behind a tall counter and I am standing in front of her) on the other side of her desk, she was shocked to learn that I was pregnant. I am happy that you cannot tell my size from just my face. I hope that this pain will pass just like it did this summer when I was temporarily set back by a violent action I did in a car. It is beyond frustrating to be uncomfortable and to walk like Frankenstein. Keep your fingers crossed.
