My back

So two Sunday's ago, Tayton who had a bad cough for a couple days, got into the left over Vick's that was in the vaporizer. He rubbed it in his hair and so I proceeded to bathe him in the morning and we were going in to the doctor's for the second time that week. His cough had only gotten worse. I lean over the tub as I give him a bath instead of kneeling which is not the smartest thing to do, but sort of thought it couldn't be all bad since I was strengthening the back of my legs doing so:-) Straigtening up after has always been a little sore and it was as usual this day. We went to he clinic, I put Tayton up on the exam table and felt that my posture was changing and that it hurt to stand. We left, Tayton had caught Katia's pneumonia and when we came home, I could barely get out of the car! There wasn't a pop in my back or anything- I thought, hmm, maybe it's a cold in my back. Nope, it got so much worse through the day that any movement was a killer and walking was very hard. We called the chiro Sunday night hoping that she would be checking her messages. No such luck. So Monday morning, I couldn't crawl, stand walk, nothing- literally paralyzed in pain. Paul didn't know what to do. I told him to call the chiro again and see if they were going to be able to fit me in(I was a new patient as well- the kids see her, but I have not). If not, we were going to the ER. I saw her an hour later and found out I had sprained a muscle in my lower back and strained my spine near it as well. Okay so it's been almost two weeks, I'm a hurry up and heal kind of person, I don't have time for this and it's not like me to be down this long with anything. Everything has been cautious, but I've seen improvement each day. The last two days were nearly 80% better, until last night. I was shopping for a couple hours and holy cow- two steps forward and three back. I woke up last night at 1 am and couldn't move again. I was so disheartened this morning. I could still walk though, but it's very painful again. I saw the chiro this morning and hopefully with alot of ice, I'll be back on track. She said I just walked too much. I'm supposed to go on an annual ladies Christmas shopping trip with some friends from church next weekend and I'm so concerne that I'll be paralyzed then too. Paul has been literally my human walker- I have had to lean on him and he has been helping me walk to the bathroom and put me on the toilet in the mornings! Humiliating, yes, but humbling too. Once I get in the shower, the muscle relaxes and then I could walk on my own. I never had back pain like this with the exception of the back labor with my children's births. I had some problems back when I was a teenager with my sciatica, but absolutely nothing like this.
So in the midst of all this, our Pastor asked if I would to take over the job of Treasurer at church. For a week and a half I prayed and thought, thought and prayed and hoped that someone else would be found. I've not really done any kind of bookkeeping per se, and I sure didn't know what all is involved. All I knew was that it would take about 12 hours a month. And I put off giving my answer cause I was in pain. Our youth pastor's wife was our treasurer and they were moving back to Ohio. So if was to accept, I'd have to sit and train and that was out of the question. Well, I don't think I really heard my answer from God, but I did feel peace and time ran out and I accepted it or should I say I told them I'd give it a try. Only there was only two days before Kristy was leaving. Well, it ended up I had one hour of training Monday! So I'm pretty much in a boat without a paddle and no one else is willing to do it so I guess God must have all this planned out. I have used Quicken before for my own finances so that's a plus, but mine is an old 98 version and is totally different. Reports are exported to Excel which I have some experience with, but it's been, gosh, eight years! So pray for me in the next weeks please. I don't know why all this happened at once, but it seems that's the way it works when God wants me to learn something. I'll be learning alot! So Sunday the congregation will vote, but Pastor is getting me added to the account today. Not technically the way things should flow, but I guess he must have faith that it's a done deal. I'll just try to do my best and hopefully it will get easier as time goes on.
