Frustrated.

I don't have a new measuring tape yet so I don't know what's going on inch wise (I presume nothing) but weight wise.... it's frustrating.

I was down 1.6 which I'm happy with considering I haven't counted points at all. At. All. But today I'm back to exactly what I was last week. So I guess it's not that big of a deal all considering.. I was just excited to move down some. lol

I'm still pretty banged up from the accident.. my bruises look NAS-TY! Guess they always do look the worst later on though, huh. It's been 10 days.

My neck and upper back and hips/bottom of my back throb almost all of the time. Even taking 800mg of Advil. I take a muscle relaxer and loratab at night to help me sleep. I tried sweeping the kitchen yesterday and hurt pretty badly after.. grrrr Since when did you use so many back muscles, etc. to sweep?

My left wrist is still pretty bad (I hit it into the steering wheel, it's sprained).. I can't even twist the cap of the milk off. And that's with wearing the brace. I wear an ace bandage at night to keep it stable. The Chiro. adjusts it every time I go in.

I still get overwhelmed when there's a lot of noise (loud music, kids going crazy) and I can't remember what I've told people or haven't told them. I'm just... not normal. I was told it can last up to two weeks after a minor concussion.. anyone else have experience with this? I'm having some headaches now I but I don't know if it's from the neck pain or what.

I leave to Cedar City on Thursday (through Sunday) to go to the Shakespearean festival and am kind of doubting my decision to go. I thought I'd be more normal than I am by now... the long car ride and sitting in seats for plays plus the walking we do... might not have been my smartest idea. It's just hard to figure out, ya know? We've been planning on it since we went last year and the kids are so excited.... wish me luck. :-S And hopefully I can choose good food choices as well.

My plan at this point is if I'm still not doing much better by next Monday then I"ll make a Dr. appointment to see what he thinks about everything. I was hoping to be working out by that time.. that's when the Chiro. said I probably would be able to start.. but I don't know. I'm exhausted just after being awake a few hours. I really miss it though! Who would have thought. I miss the grown up time with Janae too.. she's so much fun to talk to.

So yeah.. that's where I am. Just sitting around feeling sorry for myself and frustrated that I can't do anything I want to do. Or even the things I don't want to do. LOL
