I thought I'd do just fine at my shift but it was hard. Really hard. I'm so grateful it was only 4 hours because I could barely make it through. I just move so slow and it hurts to bend over because that's stretching those low back/ glute muscles. I thought I was looking forward to my 10 minute break but we only have wood chairs and I couldn't sit down comfortably and without pain. Sooooo...that wasn't great.
My shift was super understanding and let me stay on the register so I didn't have to move around a lot. It was kind of a win/ lose because standing still made my muscles hurt too haha. I was constantly moving my legs and trying to stretch because that made the pain kind of feel like a good stretch pain, instead of a pain pain...if that makes sense.
The day did get better as it went. Again, I didn't think I could make it through the work day, and actually planned to leave by 4:00 (it was our late day where we work until 6) but around 3:00 I started feeling better and I knew I could stick it out.
We will see what the next days have in store...but hopefully they have less pain in them!
