Back trouble

I was really hoping to feel a lot better when I got up this morning, as we were invited to a wedding. I could feel my back muscles were rather delicate, even moving slightly and after washing my hair my back went completely. I was in a lot of pain, the muscles were so tense and I could hardly move, so had some tramadol, and a heat pad stuck to the worse area. It's still painful but I've been walking around slowly so I didn't get too stiff.

I have had trouble getting upstairs to the bathroom, but had to take it one step at a time. I decided to soak my feet this afternoon, as I couldn't do much else. So Paul got me a bowl of hot water with some lavendar foot soak and it was really relaxing. He then dried them, and plastered them in E45 cream, as my skin is so dry these days. They feel so nice now, don't know how I'd manage though if I didn't have such a caring husband.

I did really well with my healthy eating today, cereals for breakfast, strawberry yoghurt with sliced banana for lunch, as I wasn't very hungry and a ham salad for tea. I have also had more decaf tea, rougly half and half with my normal tea, as it warns to wean yourself off slowly.

Just hope the pain in my back eases before bed, as its not easy laying down in this much pain.
