I've really done it now

I did the dumbest thing today - and believe me....I'm paying for it in the worst way!!!

We are in the process of getting the house in shape for our new family member, and this past week we had all the vents and air ducts cleaned, and had an appointment today to get the carpets cleaned. Well, the other night John, his friend Caleb, and I moved a couple of the big things..but we left the couch where it was (big mistake). Today, being the ever independent person that I am, decided that I would move the couch out of the living room so the entire room could get cleaned. This is where the BIG MISTAKE came into play. For some odd reason, I decided to lift the couch up by one end (hey, I'd done it before) but as I bent and lifted, something in my lower back went "WOOOOO - HOLD ON!!" Something popped, I yelped in pain - and I haven't been able to move right since. Note: John and Caleb went duck hunting today, so I was home alone and really didn't know what to do (besides cry and whine).

At 9:30 am the carpet cleaning guy showed up - and I had to explain to him why the couch was sitting half in the kitchen and half in the living room. He was really nice about my pain (lol) and offered to move the couch the rest of the way out of the room.

As he cleaned the carpets, I puttered around the house like a 90-year-old victim of a hit and run (at least that's what I felt like - and still do).

Thank God he got done pretty fast - cause as soon as he left, I called the chiropractor and he was able to see me. I went and received my torture - and I honestly have to say I don't feel any better. He said I threw or twisted my pelvis out of place (what?!?!?!), so I guess I can't expect it to feel wonderful so fast - but I sure wish it would. I have to go back and see him on Monday.

Well - that was, and is, my ever so pleasant adventure for today. I can tell you right now....no more moving furniture for me!!! At least until I feel better....ROFL :) (just kidding)
