Parenting after 35

Ow.

During the baby's nap, I was trying to tackle the mound of piled up clothing and misdirected laundry.

 And threw my back out. 

 2 Acetominophen tablets have not made a difference, and now I am home alone with a darling little baby that needs to be picked up fairly often.

 So, I just wanted to say, OW!

This is what parenting after 40 is all about!

  • I've had back issues since I was in my mid-20s, so it's not just an older thing!   I am dreading the day this happens to me, as I know it's inevitable at some point.  I hope you're feeling better soon (also, if you're not BFing, I find that Aleve works way better than anything else for back pain).

  • You poor thing. This has happened to me and I've been out for days! Hope you recover much, much sooner than that!

    Heating pads worked wonders for me when my back gave out.  The ones filled with rice that you heat up in the microwave.

  • Motrin (I am still BFing) and a bunch of stretching exercises recalled from when I used to actually go to yoga & pilates classes...and, well, it's just horribly stiff instead of aggressively painful.  :)

    Thanks for the sympathies.  It's nice to have a place to commisserate and whine a little bit.
