Hi all
I managed to hurt my back on Saturday evening after work. There was a loud pop and ever since it's been really painful. I managed to get an appointment with a nurse yesterday who couldn't do anything for me, as I need to see a doctor, and there are no appointments available until Friday unless I am lucky enough to get a cancellation, which I'm trying to do.
The nurse recommended I didn't work while I'm in pain as the leaning over the desk is aggravating my back even more. I'm having trouble sleeping as can't get comfortable, and if I do I wake up in pain once the painkillers have worn off.
I'm fully booked today and have appointments dotted around through the rest of the week, but I'm in the salon at the minute, standing up and writing this whilst crying as I'm in agony.
Would you cancel the clients for the rest of the week and make sure you are better or would you push through and hope you don't make whatever it is worse. I'm self-employed so don't really want to cancel clients but I don't know how much good I'm going to be, dosed up on tablets and concentrating on my pain. :sad:
