I'd hang myself first ;)

So...Last night after I posted this I went back and started working on the last pieces. I had a huge basket that weighed about 100 lbs. I carried it to the front of the shop and all of a sudden as I went to sit it down I had pain radiating from my lower back all the way down to my knees - I couldn't stand back up.

I crawled back to my office got my keys and went home. Got in bed around 8:00 and didn't get back up until 7:30 this morning because I literally couldn't.

The second that I get done with the funeral flowers I'm crawling back in bed and maybe to the hospital...

All in a days work ;)

I have been overwhelmed with funeral work this week.
Seems like it's happening all over.

Me too. We've had four of the biggest funerals we've ever had in the last seven days, plus two other small ones in other locations. On top of that I'm trying to prep for Mother's Day and two big weddings the week after MD.

Not complaining - I've desperately needed the business. March was awful!

Heather, owwee your back. I think we let customers like this give us bad mojo. 800 mg IB call me in the morning.

I think you're right!

I went home last night and took a robaxin (self medicating is probably not the best remedy but, I was in massive pain so I had to do something) and went to sleep. Got up, finished up the funeral pieces and went back home and took another and slept until four o'clock. Went with hubby out to watch him work at our property, fell asleep in the camper until about 7:00. When I got up my back felt really good.

I think my body was just telling me ENOUGH ALREADY!! and I needed to get some rest. I feel good as new now with very little pain. Thankfully, but it could still be the meds working their magic. I hope I feel this good tomorrow, going to Buca di Beppo with my in-laws. YUM!
 
If you have not done it already - IMMEDIATELY - research and develop GOOD LIFTING HABITS.......IT WILL save your back !!!!!

Rick, I'm very well schooled in lifting and proper lifting procedures - I used to do OSHA training for stock employees when i managed a clothing store.

I think it was more standing all day, everyday, 14 hours per day for the last eight days. I'm not sure if it was a nerve or a muscle but, since the robaxin helped and I'm now pain free I'm going to have to say it was just a muscle.

My body often has ways of telling me when it's had enough...because God knows that I keep pushing beyond my limits all the time and, like last night, sometimes my body crashes to a halt when it's had enough.

Annyway, thank you all for your sweet compliments makes me feel good. :>
