Sunday, Day 4

While our heat was out and we were using the fireplace I managed to either pull or sprain a muscle in my side. Painful! I used the heating pad every chance I got and I know everyone got tired of listening to my low moans and sudden yelps of pain. I was not able to do anything, even stitching, because any type of movement seemed to set off another pain and scream!

I decided to take the weekend to pamper the wound. No lifting. No stretching. No bending. Or as little as possible. A little hard since I had to go grocery shopping but DH was my helper and went in with me, pushed the heavy cart, got items off the lower and top of shelves, then he and the boys brought the groceries in for me. Of course I had to put them away after we got home but every little bit helps while I am on the mend.

Hopefully, I will be able to pick up my needle again soon and get back to stitching instead of screaming!

Ouch! But giving yourself time to heal may be the best thing you can do, so try to stay low again today, if you can!

Mend well! Hope your needle is moving pain-free soon.

Oh goodness...it doesn't take much to cause a strained muscle. Especially as we get older (pulled a few myself).

Become one with the heating pad and baby yourself a bit. You deserve it!
