The morning after my doctor's appointment, I fell in my apartment and hurt my back. I was putting together a chair to use to sit outside in the sun in and read about Lyme disease. I went to sit in it and it was not assembled correctly so I hit the hard would floor with my back. For a few minutes, I was unable to move at all. I tried to sit up but I couldn't. I was really scared that I had broken a small bone in my back since my bones are weak. I called my finance and my mom. They both drove home to help me. I managed to get up eventually and crawl to my bed. I lay on my bed for over an hour waiting for them to get here.
After spending the afternoon in urgent care, I learned that I did not have any broken bones, but that I had sprained my back. I feel ridiculous. I found out that I had Lyme disease and now I have injured myself. I feel like I am a disaster because I am always struggling with my health. If it isn't one thing, it's another. I am in a lot of pain. Back injuries are terrible. I can barley walk. I have to waddle around with my butt sticking out=) I feel relieved to know that it should heal on it's own over time. I just hope that the pain gets better soon.
