SLOW-YOUR-ROLL

So apparently the universe was trying to tell me to slow down. I arrive to Denver on Sunday afternoon totally on time to chill out before a BBQ in my honor at Pam and Amanda's house. I am drinking a beer and my future roommate calls after no communication for a couple weeks. I had to say i was getting nervous about it considering we haven't met in person yet. We make a date to have coffee in the morning. Hooray! 

Ted and Emilly show up and it is soooooo good to see them. Other folks come over and we are having a BBQ! Its fabulous catching up and hanging out in the backyard. 

Pam and Amanda have a big trampoline and in all the excitement i had to try it out. So there i am jumping my heart out holding down my dress as not to flash the entire barbeque. Ted joins me. Jump jump jump i land and Crrrunch. Ouch. I totally hurt my back. The responsible girl i am, i get down and come into the house. Pam and Amanda get me some ice. I am feeling like i need to take a break. I sit. Drink some water and some beer respectively. Ted and Emilly leave after making plans for tomorrow. I am putting on my pajamas and KINK---> i fuck my back up further. I can't even move. I decide to take a muscle relaxer and sleep it off. Throughout the night i realize the severity of what i had done to my back. Getting up to go pee was the most intense experience. I almost passed out because the pain was occupying all of my lung power. 

I am thinking about my trip, i am thinking about sitting in the car and about meeting my roommate the next day. I wake up feeling worse. I have to go to the doctor. Thank goodness that my Kaiser hasn't expired yet. I call my roommate and bail. She's awesome and totally understands. The doctor says its just the muscles and to continue icing it and writes me a prescription for vicodin and muscle relaxers. 

Now i am re-thinking my route. My back is feeling better with the above combination. I have been resting and watching a lot of chick flicks. I decided to let the schedule and the route go. I am enjoying myself here in Denver. I layed out in the back yard on the very trampoline that caused my injury. I am thinking i will head straight to Ann Arbor. But i was really looking forward to the solo camping. But i am not sure if i will be able to set up my tent and how it would feel sleeping on the ground. I just have no idea what i am going to. But i guess, right now i am just chilling with Pam here in Denver.
