I threw my back out last week so I was basically out of commission most of the week. It happened when I lifted the vacuum cleaner - no joking. I must have twisted the wrong way. The pain was extreme which is unusual for me and it lasted a week - a very long time for me as well. The last time I had thrown my back out was back in 2006 and so I still had 2 pills that were prescription muscle relaxants - again they were from 2006 so probably not very effective in 2011 but I took them anyways. I also had some T3's that I had left over from a fall (yes, I'm very clumsy!!!) back in 2008, again it's now 2011 and not exactly sure how effective they were in the pain department as I still had major pain, but I thought I would try them. I also found some Robaxisil (not sure on the spelling)they too had expired in 2008 but I took them anyways.
Yesterday was a much better day and my movements are almost back to normal and without pain. Since, I obviously didn't spend money on medication, LOL - Now how does this lead to spending? Well, I sure didn't feel like cooking and I didn't want poor hubby to have to do it when he came home from a long day at work, so it became very easy over the week to just tell him to pick something up on the way home. It wasn't expensive stuff, but it was more than we would have spent if I hadn't have been hurt. I missed 2 days of work, but I fortunately still get paid for those days. Surprising, we still came in right on budget for February, even with all the "extra" eating out over the last week of February. I'm not sure how we did it, but I did like always and tracked every expenditure down to the last penny and voila! Still came in on budget.
