Day 2 of my blogging adventures

Well, today has been an eventful day.
First, I got up at 5:40am to take Justin to water polo. Ahh the things we do for our kids. Normally, wake up time for the school year here is 6:15am for me, 7am for the kids. This is so I can get a workout in. So today was early for me!!!
Okay so I dropped off Justin than went to the gym to walk the treadmill. I decided to do the cardio program. I was on an incline of 11.4 for atleast 10 min, than it alternated between 10.9, going up and down. I felt as if I was walking up and down a very steep hill. No biggie. Right? Wrong! When I finished my workout, I came home showered and went to pick up Justin. This is when I noticed a pain in my lower back. At first, I thought maybe I slept wrong. Then I thought maybe this is a side effect from my meds. When I leaned over to give Justin a hug and he wrapped his arm around my lower back, pain radiated, and I decided to call the DR. to make sure this was not med related.
Well with the back pain, dry lips, eyes and nose. I am not all peachy keen jellybean, if you know what I mean. I am short with the kids and I just want to lie on the couch, but I can't because I have to keep my chin up and keep pushing on. Isn't that what mothers do?
Dr. called back and the back pain must be from my workout. She said she had never heard anyone experience back pain from the meds. She said take an advil, cold compact, and epson bath if it doesn't get better. Also, she reminded me to not additional vitamins at this time. Any extra Vitamin A will make my side effects worse. Dully noted!(don't know if I spelled dully, right, but you get the point)
I pray that my back pain goes away. The meds have minimal side effects and that the kids and I get used to getting up earlier than usual.
God Bless you and have an awesome day!! By the way I started this at 11am. It took 1 hr with 100 interruptions in between.
