This is why I don't wear nylons!

Okay, I was getting ready for my Uncles Rosary and decided to wear tights with my dress. I know a shocker. However, while I was getting ready I somehow hurt my back really bad. I ended up going to the urgent care on the day of the Funeral. I think that it might be the worst Urgent Care experience ever.
I sat in the waiting room for an hour and a half before I was called back. Mind you I am the ONLY person in the center. I finally get called back and the doctor decides to give me a shot of something. Then the nurse comes in and throws a fit because the shots are for workers comp only. After finally realizing that I have a PPO and calling her supervisor, I finally get the shot. And it felt good. By the end of the weekend, I was back to normal.
However, as always, a week later my left leg started to hurt and got really bad. It happened about a year ago when I hurt my back goofing off. My sciatica flared up. It hurt so bad that I couldn’t roll over in bed, stand up and pee, or even sit. It was so bad that I went to the doctors on Monday. The doctor gave me an anti-inflammatory and a muscle relaxer. She also sent me to physical therapy. Let’s just say that that night I ended up at the ER because the pain was soooooo bad. This lead to another doctor’s visit the next day. This time she put me on a steroid anti-inflammatory. This worked amazingly well. Now I am in physical therapy and a vicodin a day. I missed a week of work and a weekend at the race, but I feel sooooo much better.
This is what I looked like!
This is what I pinched!
