Useless

I feel very useless today.  A muscle spasm right under my shoulder blade is making it hard for me to drive.  My field of vision is very narrow because I can't turn my head too much and my general movement is slower due to limited use of my muscles.  I don't want to take a chance of getting into an accident, especially with Chloe in the car. On top of that, lifting Chloe in and out of the car is not easy either.  I also don't want to make things worse before I can get some medical help.  As a result, Randy had to drive Chloe and me to the babysitter's/work today.  On top of his busy schedule, he has to carve more time out to be our chauffeur. I've already been of less help at home due to the pregnancy.  He's giving baths to Chloe more often because it's harder for me to lift and squat.  I'm tired often.  And now this.

I need to get this muscle spasm fixed before he heads to the Philippines for business in a few days.  This is not a good time for unexpected situations at all.  *UGH....*


UPDATE (10/21/11):
I went to the chiropractor yesterday.  He was able to reset one side of my neck.  The other side had a nerve that was so swollen that he couldn't reset it.  He told me to ice it every hour to get the swelling to go down and call him today.  The icing worked.  I'm a lot looser today.  There's still a little knot and stiffness but at least I regained a lot of movement and am flexible enough to drive again.  I think everything should be back to normal in a couple of days.

Thank you JMT for offering to help.  I should be fine now.
