beating not over yet

I am dying. Somehow I got a muscle spasm or something in my back during the stomach virus. It gradually got worse and seemed to peak last night. Of course work didn't help yesterday but I had to be there. I was screaming in pain last night. The problem is in the mid section of my back and worked itself around my rib cage. It was cramping up and compressing my rib cage thus causing me to not be able to take deep breaths without serious pain. Wendy applied a wintergreen rub to the sore areas and it numbed it and loosened it up. I was able to sleep in the recliner that she so graciously moved into our bedroom, I awoke early this morning and took a hot shower that really helped also. A shower was out of the question last night considering I could not do much of anything without worsening the pain.

Many people are praying for me and for that I am thankful. I was so afraid Wen would have to call an ambulance in the middle of the night. I did not want that. She's dropping me off at the YMCA this afternoon so I can go in the steam room, maybe, and sit in the hottub. I hope ii's not too busy.
