Well, last night around 11 I tried to sit up in bed, but I got a sudden feeling as though someone had plunged a red-hot poker into my spine and was twisting it whenever I moved. So I spent around 20 minutes crying and trying to get out of bed, and then about twenty more minutes crawling into the living room to get my cell phone, crawling into Kai's room to call Mom and see if I needed an ambulance, then crawling back into my room and getting back in bed. Mom says it's a back spasm or something. My back's been hurting since before the semester started in August, but at its worst it only made me pause a bit and cringe. Last night, however, I was sobbing. So that seems to say that I should get my back checked out. It used to only hurt when I moved a certain way. Now it's a constant throbbing.
I was supposed to meet with my bio anth professor today. So I got to her office ten minutes early (it HAD to be her office... Her name was on the door, and there were pictures of her and the monkey she discovered and article clippings about it all over the place). I knocked on her door, but there was no answer. I realized that she probably was on lunch break, so I waited until the scheduled time, then knocked on the door again. Still no answer. I waited another ten minutes, then knocked again. Nothing. I was going to call her, but the number she gave on the syllabus has no area code. So I'm going to email her again and be all 'wtf', except a BIT more polite...
After Naut Arch, I think I"m going to head by Target and pick up some icy-hot things, maybe that'll help. I don't want to go to doc-in-the-box if I can help it.
