This week has been pretty tiring. My back is hurting ALOT at the end of the day - especially in the evenings. I've moved to the recliner from my bed 3 different nights to sleep a few hours then I wake up again and crawl into the bed until my alarm goes off for work.
On Thursday evening, Hector and I went with his parents to go to his Aunt Diana's to pray the rosary for his grandmother. My back was already hurting and sitting in the car was pretty unbearable. It usually takes about 30 minutes to get to Diana's house but traffic was bad so it took an hour. When we got there, we ate pizza and wings and then prayed. On the way home traffic was still bad and it took forever to get home. I was in so much pain that I didn't say but 2 words the whole way home. Hector called my grumpy! This was by far the most pain I have ever been in and it was taking all my strength not to cry from the pain. I was exhausted and hurting so bad that I couldn't even talk. I decided tonight that I may need that epidural after all when my baby decides to come. I have always thought I had a high tolerance for pain but I was miserable and felt like dying! It was awful. It was so thankful to get home and be able to lie down.
This week I noticed that my legs are swelling above my sock line. It's like my socks are blocking circulation and there is a lot of puffiness above the socks on my legs. The skin stayed dimpled in also when I poke on it. I will ask Dr. Williams next week about it.
