Sweet pain of my Caroline! September 16, 2007

Friday night, I saw "Wicked" with a friend of mine. It was a good story, although most of the songs were not memorable. I also had a good laugh over the T-shirts on sale in the lobby. They were promoting the song "Defying Gravity" (sadly, not the Jimmy Buffett version). The T- shirts had the words "Defying Gravity" across the chest. Now all I could think was "Implants!"…But maybe that was just me.
Yesterday afternoon/evening Jay and I went to the Yankees/Red Sox game. For those in the know, the title of this post refers to the middle of the 8th inning in Boston. It was a great game (Boston won, 10-1), but man was it long. I had to buy (darn) a Red Sox hat in the early innings because the sun was in my eyes. It’s just part of the inevitable… I am a Red Sox fan. I refuse to be a Patriots or Bruins fan, but yeah, I can cheer the Red Sox.
This morning, I awoke to some of the worst pain in my life (labor was worse…really). I developed sciatica. I have scoliosis and this can cause severe pain when I sit still too long. I guess the theatre and the game was too much for my poor back. I went apple picking with the kids and Jay, but only picked 2 apples as I can’t bend at the waist. I am sitting on the couch with a heating pad on my back… I hope this ends soon! At least I can watch the Red Sox on TV tonight with a heating pad!

I highly recommend muscle relaxants + Anaprox (prescription strength Naproxen) .
Sorry you are hurting,

Thanks for the webster’s version. S-c-i-a-ti-c-a.
Got it. As I mentioned in other post, Motrin and Naproxen prescription strength takes the edge off, but no side effects. Naproxen makes me a tad bit sleepy, or maybe that’s just results of chasing a toddler?
