I've had a few "I should not feel this way already" moments in the last few days. I stood up from the couch yesterday and had to hobble for a minute before my back relaxed enough to walk normal. I'm also redecorating my room before the surgery and I've had a hard time with some of the projects. I just spent the last hour and a half sitting on the floor painting the baseboards and my lower back is killing me. Yesterday I helped my mom uncover a chair we're planning to reupholster. I had to get some staples out from under the chair arm, which meant craning my neck a little and I couldn't do it, not even for a minute. I'm 19 years old for crying out loud! Life should not cause me this much pain. Not yet. Hopefully it won't in a few months and I'll feel like a normal person my age.
