Reality check!

If there's anything good that's come of this back injury, it's that it's afforded me a lot of time to think/reflect. It's really giving me a chance to count my blessings. I think I've always taken advantage of my good health. I'm (unfortunately) one of those people that thinks "it'll never happen to me." But boy have I gotten a MAJOR reality check. I am not invincible. Not even close. I know things could be MUCH worse. But this is the most hurt I think I've ever been. I'm just trying to keep the 'poor me' thoughts out of my head as much as possible.

I'm laying here on the couch staring at my empty coffee cup and crying... because the thought of having to maneuver off the couch, walk to the kitchen, stand long enough to pour the coffee, walk back to the couch, and sit up long enough to drink it is not even close to worth the pain it'll induce.

I guess I'll just continue to spend my days like this:


...continue to pop these:


...and continue pray that my strength and health will be restored soon. In the mean time, I'm thankful to have an amazing sister and wonderful friends that come over as often as they can to visit/take care of me/bring me food. I'm one VERY lucky girl... I'm just in the midst of unfortunate circumstances.

Oh shoot.... I have to pee! :( I guess now I can get my coffee? :)
