WTF did I do to myself?

So, Girl had her first melt down (since beginning program-Girl, OBVIOUSLY, has had many meltdowns). Now Girl was heading into the weekend with a bronchial patient for a husband and a five year old who is always on "GO!" Hard to "rest and regulate" as Girl was instructed.
Girl tried, she really did! Stretches first thing Saturday morning. Ate healthy breakfast. Girl tried not to let horrid low pressure system affect her, but it always makes her muscles ache.
Girl took son to miniature golf five birthday party and she knew she was in trouble when he, whose body is like a constant furnace, announced, "I'm cold, mommy." Fever! Girl and son tore out of there before Hazmat was called in.
So....Girl retreated to that well known place-the Mother Bubble. You can barely see the sky, the bubble is so thick. Poor bronchial husband tapped on the Bubble a few times to ask for some water, but could not get through.
Girl does admit that regulation needs to be learned.
Girl got a lovely surprise Sunday morning. Girl had the hubris to yawn and stretch at the same time. Girl's neck would have none of that. SNAP! CRACKLE! POP! and Girl was down. On the floor. Yelling. Laughing (Girl sometimes reacts inappropriately to pain by laughing-i.e., beginning labor contractions). Girl's husband hauled her up onto Zero Gravity Chair and there she stayed for half the day. Heat, Motrin, Oxy, nothing helped.
Meanwhile, sick son fell asleep on floor next her chair. Thankfully, bronchial husband was able to fetch a blanket for poor child and dear, kind friends fetched food for us.
Girl was most disappointed that her first weekend with new program was a BUST.
Girl had her own Physical Therapist work on her neck on Monday. This woman can work miracles, and helped a great deal, but also filled Girl with worry.
Girl: Let me show you my new exercises.
Miracle PT: Ok, some of these are ok for you, but they are very conventional and some might not be safe for your hypoid muscles.
Girl did not even know she HAD hypoid muscles and now cannot believe she risked injuring them.
Girl felt depressed that new program may just be same old pig dressed in new fancy dress. Girl decided not to do stretches again until she sees Program PT.
Girl is peeved.
