I finally broke down and had my husband drive me to my chiropractor last night (who stayed open after hours for me) so that she could pop them back into place. She said that in reality, my entire skeletal structure was pretty out of whack (which I knew, but dealt with) and gave me one of the harshest adjustments of my life!
I am still in quite a bit of pain, but am hoping that it will relent soon. My grandmother came over and picked me and the boys up today (since I am in too much pain to drive) and took us over to her house so she could help me take care of them and allow me to rest, which in all actuality, I haven't done much of through this whole sickness. I have felt like I needed to just keep pushing through, truckin' along with my organizing and preparing for the start of our school year and essentially the entire reorganization of my life, but this whole rib thing has really side-lined me. I can't even pick up Lion Cub. I mean, he is a hefty little sucker, but even lifting up his booty up to change his diaper is an absolute killer.
I know there is a lesson in all of this- probably that I need start taking better care of myself and listening when my body is telling me to slow down and rest. I'm not very good at that. As my mom would say, this is a character building experience!
I would greatly appreciate your prayers, and like I said- happier posts are on the way!
