SICK MUSCLES AND KID SPASMS

Or is it sick kids and muscle spasms?? I dunno...



Anyhoo, on Tuesday I awoke to beautiful sound of every single muscle in my neck SCREAMING in pain. I could not move. I could not get out of bed, lift my arms or anything. Great! Now what? So Happy came to my rescue. he managed to get me out of bed and into the shower - where he had to wash my hair for me cause I was so totally useless. Pain like I cannot describe blossomed in my neck and arms with every single little move I made.



So after 3 days of self medicating myself and getting no positive response I made an appointment yesterday with the Physio Therpist. Was that ever weird? When I phoned a woman with a voice like sandpaper (you know the guy from the movie "The Birdcage" - she sounds like that) and a cough to make your nerves frazzle answered the phone. Breathing heavily and wheezing she booked my appointment. I was a little doubtful at first but then I figured - she's the receptionist, so it's cool.



Just before Happy picked me up he called saying Marke is ill and needs to get to the doctor too. "Great - another one with Mumps, there goes Christmas." Were my thoughts. But he has a tummy bug and is going to be fine. His temperature was 40 degrees celcius - very high. Shame poor kid. But a shot in the butt sorted him out quickly enough.



So I go to the physio 'round the corner and there is the BIG lady sitting on a little drum having a ciggy outside. "You the one with the neck" she rasped and got up to open the door. Ah, so this is the receptionist I spoke to on the phone. I follow her inside and she gives me the usual forms to fill out and all that then she tells me to follow her to another room. I sit down and she starts asking me a whole lot of questions about where i am in pian, how long etc etc and I realise that this IS the therapist!!



She sounds really course and she smokes like a chimney - but she knows what she is doing and I tell you, I was on the verge of falling into a deep deeeeeep sleep when she was done with me. I have just got a HUGE muscle spasm from - can you guess people - The Computer!! Yep. I work on one ALL day and that is why I am spazzing up all over. Lol. So I still look a bit like Robocop when I move around cause I cannot turn my head - but at least I can use my arms. And Happy is going to get me Spasmeds - she said I should get them. They are muscle relaxants and I know from past experience that they work.



I am still sore but feeling better. I should probably be going back there but not today i am going away with Happy until Sunday to this place: LOERIES CALL

Stunning hey?? And Yes - that's our room there. Thats where I will be sleeping tonight. The bathroom has got fluffly Gowns to wear, and super soft towels. All the luxuries you can think of - this place has. It's FIVE star!! And I cannot wait.

After the time I have had with kids getting sick - mumps, runny tummy's, vomiting - blegh!! I need to get away from it all. Marke and Sean's mom is staying with them all for the weekend and she doesn't mind having Dononvan too. But who would he's so sweet.

Happy and I leave this morning at about 10:00 am when work finishes. We are all packed and ready to go!!

Have a great weekend everyone and keep safe. I will not say this is my last post cause I said that with the last one - I might just hook up with the laptop sometime.

Tata!!

Edited to say:

Oh and have you EVER smelled what a burned dinner plate smells like? I have. I smelled it yesterday when I came home and the whole house reeked. Donovan (bless his independant soul) had put a slice of Pizza in the microwave to warm it up on a plate and then forgot about it. It was in for about an hour. On high. Cooking.

Suddenly when he saw the smoke did he rememer his Pizza. Well the plate was burned BLACK and the pizza was a little more like charcoal than Pizza - and now whenever I use the microwave I can smell the burned pizza and plate every time - YUCK!!!

KIDS!!
