everything hurts

March 16th, 2009 at 08:09 am

After working 12 hours at our house yesterday (DF did 13 hours), I woke up this morning and pretty much EVERYTHING hurt. My arms, my legs, my back, my stomach, my neck, even my ankles hurt! All stiff, all sore. (Probably shows how unfit I am). I was having serious issues with my back by the time we finished. While DF finished coating the floor I went and found an old yoga mat amongst the stuff we had already moved, and just lay down for about half an hour. This morning it was alright though - DF was worried but I said that is pretty normal for me, I just seem to overwork my lower back (from stupidly not using my stomach muscles enough) but it usually repairs itself overnight. For now!

We got home at around 10pm and got to bed at about 11pm. I had to get up at 4am for work! I am really looking forward to sleep tonigh, but am trying to hold off until atleast 830pm.

DF did one coat last night, and is doing a second coat right now, so there is only one more coat to do before he polishes the floor and then FINALLY we can start moving everything in properly. I have been taking bits and pieces every time I go, which has been a help, but we still have so much to move. And we now only have a week until our lease runs out! Exciting!

DF's mum, auntie and grandma are all coming over to help clean our rental place while we move all our stuff. So nice of them. DF's mum is driving 3 hours each way just to help.

    Please try to be extra careful and take care of your back. It's one of those few areas on your body that, as you damage it, it never fully recovers.

    Take an ibuprofen before you start and after you have completed your job and showered ice, it will help with any inflammation

    Sounds like you had a busy and productive day but may have just over done a bit. Hope you feel better quickly!
