My muscle aches

Did you know you could pull/strain muscles while riding down waterslides? Yeah, well neither did I. But I guess that’s exactly what I did. I was up all night Tuesday night in so much pain I thought I was going to die. Finally at 3am I could not take it anymore and came to ER. Come to find out I have pulled my stomach and rectal muscles and they are spasming….which hurts!! Not a lot they could do. They gave me a shot to ease the pain for the day so I could get some relief, but said expect the spasms to return. Just what I wanted to hear!
He gave me a couple of prescriptions to “help out” and told me it will have to heal like any pulled muscle and could take about 10 days. I just so hope I can sleep. I don’t function well without sleep!
She went to give me the shot and said "this could be a little uncomfortable." Well what shot isn't uncomfortable when they put it in your behind.
Anyways....its been a few days and it has definately gotten a little better....thank goodness.
Note to self...Be less tense when going down waterslides....being all tensed up, thinking you are going to get killed on those things could cause you to pull muscles.....the pain afterwards isn't worth it.....Just let loose and go down the dang slide.......After all there are 2 year olds going down in front of you, you are 26 for crying out loud!!
