@Elissa- thanks and I hope you are feeling better soon too! It does stink not being able to get around normally and do normal things. I know I should be patient and take it easy but my life is not really structured to make that particularly easy to do.

When I heard about it on a recent BOBW episode, I understood completely as this happened to me last week. (Well, I don’t think it was a pinched nerve, but my back “gives out” every few years. It’s awful.) I also spent more than a few days in bed, my husband was able to work from home thankfully, but it’s awful not being able to get around normally or stand without immense pain. I hope you feel better soon.

@Maggie – thank you – it has been excruciating at times. I am hoping I am turning the corner…glad it always passed at some point for you!

Being immobilized also sucks big time! It always passed at some point for me and I hope that’s in the near future for you.

@Lori C – yep, here’s hoping. This has been an incredibly frustrating week! Kids off school today again but at least the upside is that there isn’t as much driving necessary (which I can’t do…)

I will have to go back and catch up as I didn’t realize you were injured! This too shall pass, although not without some frustration in the meantime. Rest up and I hope you are feeling better soon.

@Amy – yep, all at once – or at least it doesn’t stop just because I’m stopped!
