Walsall Wonderland

In the last three days, I’ve experienced some of the worst pain of my life…

I don’t know exactly why it came upon me, but I was sitting around enjoying some relaxing computer time, playing some games, and then all of a sudden, when I went to stand up, I had an electric spasm in my lower back on the left. That continued to happen every time I got up for the rest of the day. It was painful, but manageable, so long as I helped myself up out of chairs with the arms, and didn’t bend over.

Okay, next day, that seemed to ease off. WOOT! Right? Nope! I was walking around with a little bit of twinginess from the day before, thinking though that the worst was past. Then as I was walking into the kitchen to make some lunch, I had the worst spasm of my life in my lower back. I shouted an expletive, grabbed the sink, and stood there wincing, until the pain past. Once I could explain, I told my fiancé what had happened and stood there with tears running down my face until I could continue with what I was doing.

That was painful for the rest of the day, too. Then the next day, yesterday, I got up, and found that my upper right back and neck were in some of the worst pain I’d ever experienced. I couldn’t turn my head, and that is still causing me trouble now, nor could I, or can I, bend over without a feeling of rapidly mounting pressure in my head that is rather painful. I ended up with an awful migraine in the end, that was still lingering when I got up today, but now isn’t too bad. Almost completely gone, but I’m still light and sound sensitive. Especially sound.

So that’s what the last few days have been like for me… Great, eh?

Now for a knitting pattern. I’m a Harry Potter fan, there’s no doubt, so when I found this Broomstick Bookmark pattern, I knew it had to go up!
