Back injury Take 2
I swear there is some curse the Tomlinsons have with injuries and moving. I am officially laid up with a totally jacked back again. It happened on Wed when I was lifting Inara to put her down for a nap. I felt a slight snap in my lower back. Not as bad as the last one, but bad enough that it brought tears to my eyes. I went to the chiropractor, and he said he could tell I was all tight and out of alignment again. Yesterday was a tough one with quite a bit of pain throughout the day. I feel horrible because this couldn't come at a worse time. We are moving into our new house, and I have all these things I want to do but now can't because I can't lift a darn thing and am even limited on simple movements. Forget shaving my legs for one. I also feel miserable because it hurts to lift Inara or to bend over and hold her hands so she can walk, her new favorite pasttime. This makes me feel like I'm a bad mom because I can't do things with her. I know that may sound stupid, but it's just the way I feel. I ended up taking a hydrocodone the past two nights so I could at least sleep some. Shawn said I'm restricted to a "supervisor" position this weekend as we move our stuff to the new house. I'm super bummed because I won't be able to do any unpacking this weekend either. My mom has been asking me for a few weeks if I need her help. I kept saying no because I hate to ask for help and because I didn't want my parents to have to pay for another flight out here. Well, when I told her I injured my back and even cried a bit on the phone (not to make my mom feel bad but because I'm that pissed with the situation), my dad booked her a flight, so thank god she'll be here on Wed. Hopefully that extra set of hand will help with Inara, and if I'm feeling any better, I can do a little bit around the house. But I know I have to take it REAL slow so I can heal quicker. This is soooo not the way I wanted this weekend to go.

I KNEW IT!!! What did I say in my last comment... watch what you do or you will hurt yourslef again. Marisa, you are just getting old. J/K. Please feel better and take it easy. Regarding Inara, you can walk on your knees so you are not bending down. I would ask your Dr if simple streching exercises will help (especially in the morning). Please just take it easy and leave everything up to the men to move and put everything together.
Lots of Love
You totally jinxed me with your previous comment actually. J/K. Trust me, I can't do much of anything, so I'm totally leaving it all up to the guys. Lets hope it only lasts for a few days. I pretty much did squat today, so I'm at least following doctor's orders.
once you have a back injury you always have a back injury and when it goes out watch out. Like Kim said, you are getting up there in age, 35 in 2 weeks, be careful you are catching up to me.:)
I'm still betting your Dad will show up, I already won the bet on your mom.
Love you guys
Great strategy! Hurt your back at the opportune time! This is payback for Shawn hurting his ankle before the move to CO. Good luck and welcome to the never ending saga of home ownership.
Trust me, didn't want to payback Shawn. I hate injuring myself. But I did take it easy or easier than I usually do. We are definitely looking forward to sharing home ownership stories. Let the fun begin!
