Hateful December

Woke yesterday morning with a shock. I couldnt move my body without feeling tremendous pain. What the hell happen??

As i recall, there wasnt any strenous activity out of the norm, I was still shopping for skincare the night before. I couldnt even move my legs.... Lower back was emitting serious warnings to my brain. Each move i take , sharp pains shot all the way to the nerves.

Its was 8.05 am... as I lie on bed trying to figure out what to do. I called Emma, he was with a client doing training.. which only ends at 9am. He will rush home straight after that.
While waiting, I try to get up.. I failed. Rolled to the side of my tummy was painful, pushed myself to sit up... more pain. Tried to stand... that is mission impossible... couldnt stand straight and i cant move my feets. I fell back onto the bed....

No choice... I couldnt go anywhere. Even the bathroom seems a long trek away. I continue to lie on bed.. and do stretching. No good, I cant curl my legs and hug them.

At long last 9.50am, Emma reach home. By then, I desperately need to go bathroom to relieve my bladder, any more delay i think I will pee on the bed!! He tried to help me get off the bed, I put my arms around his neck, while he carry me up.. in standing position. The pain was excuriating I cried. Seriously I have a good treshold for pain after all these years, but I cried. The pain was unbearable... as I tried to walk. It took me 5 mins to walk to the bathroom.
The pain extended to both side of my hip as i walked, and numbness sensation spread from my spine to my left foot sole.

As soon as Im back on Bed, Emma took out the painkiller and muscle relaxant for me. Only when the pain gets bearable.. he change me into new clothings and send me to CGH A&E.

Lucky for me. A&E was not crowded today, only waited for 30 mins and i seen the docter.
Weird Doc i would say, heck care attitude , skin head or bald... with diamond ear studs. As me to try reach for my knee cap and do squarting. Madness..... If he insist, Emma swear he will lash at him. Told him I couldnt squart, cant even reach for my knee area, then he put me on Jabs, and under observation for 2hrs

Ist time ever in my life, I was in a wheel chair... the nurse wheeled me to a bed on the observatory area to sleep and wait. Not something we expected... but still we wait.
after 1 hr, the pain reduce greatly due to the painkiller jab and we see the 'Punky' Doc again.

Couldnt explain what happen to me, so prescribed more painkiller and set me up with a specialist for through checks but its not immediate. Next earliest available date, Jan 12 09.
And gave me 2 days MC.

Shit I was in so much pain, and obviously as the doc mentioned, since i felt numbness all the way till my sole, it pretty much means nerves problem. Yet there was no immediate check and scan for me. Might as well I go to a normal GP, take the same painkiller shot and head home to sleep.
A&E charges was $75, but I would have received the same treatment from the normal GP at the cost of $40!

Its another 1 mth till the specialist appointment, would I have been paraysled and bedridden by then??
I think perhaps I should have go for TCm accupunture treatment this weekend, when the pain subsided.

Emma was pretty upset by the fact my back pain came back, this would have meant disruption to the gym training again and more restriction to the level of activity I could do.

Argh, I wish someone could tell me what happen!!!
