Stupid butter!

Who knew that putting a tub of butter back in the fridge could kill your back! I found out that it is possible for that to happen. Sunday evening I was putting a tub of butter back in the fridge and my back went out. I was doing the right things, I wasn't bending over, I was bending my knees and reached in to put it away. All of a suddenly I felt THE WORST pain I have felt in a long time. I would put it up there with the pain I felt giving birth to Kiley with absolutely NO pain meds at all. I lost control of my bladder (which really scared me, it is a sign that there is serious nerve issues going on), and was hanging onto the fridge door not being able to move at all. The kids were in the kitchen and asking me if I was ok. All I could do was cry. Isaac called for Cordell to come in the kitchen because I was hurt. Sweet little Connor was hugging my back trying to help me feel better. I'm greatfull that the fridge didn't fall over on me and the kids. Cordell gabbed a chair so I could sit down on it. It took all I had to just move a couple of inches to sit down. Cordell told the kids to get in the car so they could take me to the ER. While the kids were waiting for us in the car, Cordell gave me a blessing and helped me into the bathroom to I could change into dry clothes (there was no way I going in wet clothes!). That was a painful process. I'm so blessed with such a caring and attentive husband! He has helped me so much through this whole thing. You know how humiliating it is to be wheeled into the place you work in a wheelchair!? I was hurting so bad and trying not to cry while they were checking me in. They were all very concerned and did a great job. They got my back to my room so fast. I guess you could say I timed it right. I had one of the best nurses which was Kit. She came in right away and started my IV. I did not even feel the needle go into my arm. I also had the one of the best PAs, Mark Lawson, and one of the best doctors, Dr. Whittaker (he treated Cordell when he was having his allergic reaction to sulfa last year). They were all so caring helpful. They got my meds really quick, and Kit made sure I was comfortable. The staff were also so caring and came and talked with me. The staff at Logan Regional ER are the best. Anyway, after talking with the drs we decided just to put me on some muscle relaxers, pain meds, and Motrin and to follow up with my dr in a couple of days. I went and saw my dr yesterday and we decided I need to do my core strengthening exercises again. I haven't felt any numbness or tingling down my legs until today. We went for a walk around Walmart so I could start to get my back strong. With about every step I was feeling cracking and popping. My right leg started to feel weird and my foot was starting to tingle a little bit. It is making me nervous. I'm going to go for another walk today to see if it happens again. I hope it doesn't. I don't want anything serious to be wrong. Having an MRI doesn't scare me, it's the results of it that make me nervous. The last time I had imaging done I had a hida scan to check my gall bladder and found out that it wasn't even working at all! I just need to get my back stronger and lose about 50 lbs. After that I should not have any more problems. We shall see.
