I've been suffering from back pain and muscle spasms for at least a couple weeks now. I am awakened usually at least once a night from back spasms and aches and pains and sometimes it just hurts to breathe. So I make an appointment...only I can't get in for awhile. So I wait. Patiently. Today was my appointment - finally. It is quite an ordeal compared to what I'm used to because I have to catch an earlier train, leave work, etc. I rush to my appointment, get to the door and it's locked. Finally someone comes to the door and just tells me nonchalantly, "We're closed." Um, no you're not. I have an appointment. "Oh, yeah, our doctor had an emergency and had to cancel." They claimed to not have my number but since I was a new patient I just gave them my number when I called last week along with every other piece of new patient information possible. I was beyond angry. Not only did these clowns waste my time but now I have to suffer the pain a while longer and take off work again. Argh. It's seriously just been one of those days. And, of course, they didn't understand why I just couldn't come back tomorrow. So now I wait some more...
On another note, I'm thinking about freezer meals. Maybe making something extra on the weekend to stick in the freezer and pull out at a moment's notice during the week. Does anyone do this and what do you recommend?

Just that kind of day

Oh no! That's really rotten, Amy. I'm sorry you're feeling poorly.
Regarding the freezer, I have a few meals that I usually make extra of, so I can freeze some for another day. Most of them are ground-beef based. I'll try to put together a list for you.
I am so sorry! Have you tried putting heat on your back? Or ice? You can also alternate them.
About the freezer meals, here are a couple of websites that talk about that some:

The GCC just posted two posts about freezer meals. They were very helpful to me.

Once a Month Mom provides recipes and tips for an entire month-worth of freezer meals all cooked on one day, complete with a step-by-step schedule and shopping list.
Good luck!
Amy, I'm so sorry you've been in so much pain. That sounds like a really rotten day and would have really upset me, too.
Here is a link for freezer cooking...

Also, there are a couple of cookbooks that I used in Togo and early marriage that have pretty good recipes: Make-a-Mix (don't know if you'd like the actual recipes in this one as much) and Once A Month Cooking (by Mimi somebody or other). The Once A Month Cooking is probably more like what you're looking for. Good luck!
I started putting together that list, and I thought, "I think I've done this already." And I had! Here it is. I hope you're feeling better!
