I’m 8.5 mo PO and on day 8 of lower back & sciatic pain that probably resulted from overdoing it at my job as a trainer, and sitting for too many hours on a day trip. Was with my kids all day today, and as soon as I put them to bed, I sat and faced this overwhelming fear of, “What if I don’t get better? What if this pain doesn’t go away?” which looks like a lot of crying and breathing and nose blowing while trying not to wake the rest of the family. And gin. There was some gin involved. And an ice pack. And I’m still good looking, though not so much during the crying parts.
