Herniated disc day.

I have had, and have a herniated disc in my lower back (between L4 and L5 for those who care medically savvy). I went to the ER Jan. 9, and they did an MRI and found it, after having some intense pain on my back and left leg. Send me home with drugs, and a doctor to call. Now, four weeks later, I have seen a orthopedic specialist, done lots of PT, and had a epidural. Still having lots of pain and heading towards a second opinion soon.

-SO that is the update on my back issue-

Now, lets get started on why I wrote all that! Today, after a long weekend celebrating birthdays in Iowa City, and the Superbowl with my AMAZING family, I had three back-to-back-to-back apt this afternoon! W.O.W, did I feel busy, and like everyone wanted to poke at me. Some much nicer then others, but I am SO over this back issue, I do not do good sick, or injured (as many of you know) I would just rather be on the go, and doing work as best as possible, boy has this really put a tamper on that! It has really put my heath into prospective, and how much we seem to take it for guaranteed in everyday life style, took something like a silly ole' herniated disc for me to get my body some rest and relaxation! I am not whining, at all. It was just a very very emotional, testing day. I struggle with those. Looking back in my phone, called mom 8 times, within the 4 hrs of my appointments- gotta love having that mom, always can make ya feel better :) But I will come back from this, hopefully scare free, and being able to touch my toes....we have a long ways to go, so prayers would help!


Thanks mom, family, Regina, Sarah, and mag for putting up with me, and helping me out so so much!

Nice win tonight Solon, and good luck tomorrow! Mom has Kaylee over night, I will have her tomorrow, it has been quite the treat to have her around the past two days.
