Saturday night. I get up, get ready for work. And realize for reasons not to be discussed in here right now that I’m not going to work. So, I call out. Put in for sick/vacation time to cover my shift, and take the attendance point. Go into the kitchen, I’m standing at the sink, and I reach over to the brand new coffeemaker, and it hit. My right ball suddenly feels like it’s in a vice, and the pain is progressing up my back. Had I nit already called out then, I would’ve called out anyway. My only option is to lie down and sleep it off. Three hours later, and the pain is mainly in my lower back. And I can stand up (with effort and technique) and go to the bathroom. Back to bed, and 4 hours later, I’m almost up and at ‘em. Bck to bed again, and I was able to get up and go to work Sunday night.
I don’t know what caused it, and my employer supplied health insurance isn’t the best, so I’m skipping the doctor it it’s possible. But I have a feeling that I might have a hernia.
But on the bright side to all this (if there is one), I was able to manage this all without even a Tylenol or ibuprofen….
