Step on a crack, break my own back...

So, the last few days I've been waking up in the morning with sharp pain in my back. I attributed it to the move that we just did and to shovelling snow. Well, last night, out of a sound sleep i woke up with this shooting pain! It was horrible! Every time I breathed, or coughed it radiated up and down my back. I got up to walk it off, and there I am in my t shirt and underwear at 1AM writhing in pain. It was terrible. I honestly thought I was having an appendix attack. I almost woke everyone up to take me to the hospital. I was crying it was so bad. There was gurgling in my stomach going on, and when I massaged myself I burped, so I figured it was gas and took an acid reflux pill. I also took 3 advils. I laid down in bed and the pain spread to my arm, and i'm thinking, "good God, I'm having a heart attack" - this after watching Judging Amy and the mother's heart attack. I finally relaxed and slept soundly the rest of the night. I woke up and there was no pain.

So, I have some serious digestive issues apparently. It's time to see the doctor again. I just requested an appointment because this is just ridiculous. I'm still coughing, still can't talk and now I have killer gas pain! I'm going to sign up at Weight Watchers tonight. I'll end up going on thursday nights regularly though because i can go right before ceramics class. I just have to sign up tonight because I feel like i'm putting off my health and i'm about to jump out of my skin.

I just don't feel right. I'm going to start going to the gym too.. maybe I'll do that tomorrow before ceramics. I'd end up driving all over creation, but it's only for one night just to get me jump started. I have things to do on friday and saturday and they're closed on sunday. I'm afraid to put it off til monday. We'll see. I'll have to sew my gym pants...there's a hole in the crotch. Well, I can always take them to work and staple them like my dad did the other day... but that's a whole other story he'd get pissed about me broadcasting on the internet.

I'd like to go down to Philadelphia to visit Jenn and to drive to Baltimore to see the Red Sox play in July. I can't get a ticket up here to save my soul. There's plenty down there. I did buy tickets to the memorial day game at fenway, but they are all single seats. Same section, same seat number, different rows. I jumped at the chance because I have to see the champions play in person in fenway.

Well, wish me luck at WW... I am dreading this first weigh in... especially since i'm full of gas... maybe gas is lighter than fat... and it will lift me off the scale like helium... fat chance!
