What goes up, must come down. Apparently.

[beelikej]

Fuck. My back gave up again. This morning I could barely tie my shoelaces and when I got off the bus to work, the pain and stiffness only seemed to have gotten worse. Grumble.
I'm not only physically but also emotionally very unstable at the moment. No fun. I hope I'll make it through the day without tears, but they are very close to the surface. :,-(

*hugs carefully* That sucks monkeyballs. :/

It's very frustrating, especially since I had a weekend in which I actually moved around like an average person, instead of spending it behind the computer 24/7. Maybe I should just stay stuck in my chair. As long as I don't change positions, the back is fine. Grumble.
I'm hoping it's partially caused by that time of the month and not a new start of the old problem.

Thanks for the hug:)

::hugsreallygently:: I'm sorry. I hope this round won't be as traumatic as the last. Go ahead and cry. Tell everyone they are tears of Righteous Anger...they'll back off.

I'd love to have a good cry, but not at work, I feel helpless enough as it is, with the hormones raging. Luckily I managed to keep the emotions under control today. I tried to focus on the job, but every time I had to get up from behind the Mac, my back went into a spasm. I bought some lovely pink painkillers during my break, they numbed the pain a bit:)
I hope this setback is temporary and triggered by that time of the month. I want to be fit for my long weekend.

Thanks for the hug:)

How are your injuries? Still enjoying the fancy green cast?

[rabidfan.livejournal.com]

Pain killers are wonderful.

My cast is supposed to come off the end of next week. I cannot wait. I'm tired of typing, doing dishes and almost everything else one-handed. I want my right hand back!!

Are you looking forward to the season opener for CSI? I haven't had time to even think about it yet...so I hope I don't forget it's on Thursday!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Before this shit with my back happened, I never realised I could take painkillers for anything else besides headaches. D'oh.

I figured as much, it has been almost four weeks now. I can imagine you're bored with the whole ordeal;) I hope doctor-dearest finds your arm healed enough to leave the cast off. It will be great to be able to use both hands for all the activities mentioned above and more. *hugs!*

Oh, man, I'm so excited about it. tanisafan is coming over this weekend for a Hornblower Marathon and of course we will also make time for CSI. I want to do a double feature with last season's final episode. I will need to avoid spoilers until Sunday I think. But it will be awesome to watch it with a fellow-slasher. *bounces*

[rabidfan.livejournal.com]

Hornblower? As in Horatio??

I loved the A&E versions...and the Gregory Peck version, too. Sexy men at sea. Yum! Of course, if that's not what you meant, than I didn't mean it either!!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

That's the one. I'm a total virgin on the subject, but I have been promised soaking wet men, so I'm looking forward to it. We will be watching the A&E versions with Ioan Gruffud* - on my big screen of course. Fourteen hours at sea, it will be bliss, I'm sure:)

*Warning: links to pictures that are not completely worksafe;)

[rabidfan.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh....he's lovely. You will squirm for all the right reasons! Plus, it's really well done. You will enjoy it, I'm sure.

Let me know what ou think of it.

(Yummy pics, btw)

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

And squirm I did: I loved it! Not just because of the pretty, but also because it was oozing with slashy subtext;) Hornblower and his captain, Hornblower and sweet Kennedy, Hornblower and his midshipmate and so on and so on *g*. The little het-romance that was there was easily mocked, so we had lots of fun:)

To bring back memories: you can rewatch the story in screencaps here:)

many *hugs* for you my love. I'm guessing you probably already have,but if not, go and see a physiotherapist. My back problems were caused by my pelvis being out of alignment. they put it ack in, did a lot of therapy and it's pretty much 90% better. Could be worth seeing if it's a similar thing causing your problem.

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

I did see a physiotherapist when the back was really bad this summer. (Got a great massage and a new regime of exercise) It was the same problem as last time: stress in combination with sitting down for the job too much, causes my back to stiffen.
I've been changing my routine and I try to move around in between work as much as possible, but I've been extremely busy the past couple of days and in combination with a heavy attack of pms I guess it was a bit too much.
The back was already a bit better today and I hope I will be relatively loose again once my period is over.
(I will however keep your advise in the back of my head, since the pain has been travelling down my leg and I was wondering if there might be another problem as well)

Thanks for the hugs, hon.

[tanisafan.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Is it any better yet?

*prepares to spoil you rotten*

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Bwoohahaha, my evil scheme is working!

I think the back is getting slightly better as that evil time of the month passes. I should be able to sit down for long periods of time again this weekend. *crosses fingers*

Oh, I just remembered I forgot to give you synopses of the Who-eppies I mentioned in my mail. (My brain is random;) Remind me to give 'm to you in my next reply (because you will send me the review of dah book of dooooom soon, yes? *hands you hanky*)

[tanisafan.livejournal.com]

Hehe yep, I am now doing a quick picspam (it's only, um, two weeks too late) and then there will be an email ;)! The uncontrolled flaily movements and squeaky noises, you'll just have to imagine.

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Oooh, picspam *bounces* I should really go and do the dishes, but I think they can wait. They're not moving... yet *g*. *hits reload button on flist frantically*

[kennedy-unknown.livejournal.com]

Yikes, not again? *sends psychic rosehip tea*

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Exactly what I was thinking. Grumble. Thanks for the tea:)

[bflyw.livejournal.com]

I didn't see this until now... Hope your back is getting better soon! I can't find the words in English now... but I wish you all the best!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Thanks sweetie. I'm still hoping it's a minor set back and not a full on repetition of the last time. (I've been following the progress on the house: I wish you all the best with that!)
