I Have No Excuse

Sorry for no blogging here but I have been blogging on the dog blog.

Still dealing with back/hip/leg issues. I am going for a MRI of my hips this week and have been put on the dreaded steroid pack that I have tried to avoid for months. It actually has not been as bad as I envisioned and seems to be helping. I am also still going to acupuncture as well.

Hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas season. 

Here is a post of Christmas past:

The other day me and the family were watching old movies of my son at various Christmas’s.  I thoroughly enjoyed watching my son watch himself when he was really little.  He thought it was funny that he was such a Ham in front of the camera and every time he saw it he would smile real hard and squint his little eyes. 

But a part of me was sad.  I miss how he looked at me as a baby, like I was the best thing since a fresh diaper.

 

Now I get the sideways stare like my parents have lost their ever living mind.

  I miss him wanting to always snuggle and watch movies.  I miss his misspoken words that were so cute, he still has some he spits out wrong from time to time, but not like when he was really little.  I miss his unsteady walking.  I just miss him being little. 

I know, I know come back to reality Jenny don’t you remember him having the worst colic known to man and all the nights you wished he would sleep…  Not to mention the fact that your hormones went so far out of whack that you had a steady hot flash for 3 years.  But look how cute ….

  

  

How could I not miss his little squishy cheeks☺

I’ll get over it and I know he still likes to snuggle on his terms, but I just hope that it doesn’t end too soon because I am just not ready for him to be too big.

Just In Case You Were Wondering

Falalalalalalalalalalala

For real though sorry about the 10 day unplanned hiatus from the blog.

I went to the doctor on Tuesday and since the first two sets of injections were a total fail we are back to the drawing board. He wants me to try epidurals instead and went over what type of surgery I would have if they did not. I was not expecting the surgery I would need to be so intense. Like 3-5inch incision intense!!!

It was a major downer and of course I went home and googled like a mad women to find other things I can be doing besides what I am already doing to avoid any and all possibility of surgery.

I have been trying to do lots of PT exercises at home and just de-stressing. That is one of the biggest things all the doctors have said to me is I need to find a way to not have a lot of stress in my life since it causes inflammation in your body and I have plenty to go around.  I am a worry wart and I have a teenager soooo I don’t know how this is gonna go down but I will give it the old college try. Who made up that term anyway??

In the mean time all prayers and positive vibes that this new procedure works are welcome.

Happy Friday. Have a fabulous weekend!!

 

Injection Day

The injections went well and I got three on each side lower on my back this time to see if that helps better.

So here I sit with my ice pack, my laptop and my coffee!

Oh and my nurse!

Praying these take this time!!!!

Injection Day

 

Well that was super duper NOT FUN AT ALL!!!

I got my Facet injections today and my left side kept spasming while they were doing the injection.  Talk about freaking OUCH!!

I breathed through it and all but guess what… I have to do all this fun again in a couple weeks.

WHY ME!!

 

Back Update

I went to the doctor Monday and now I am going to another doctor to get trigger point injections and possibly a epidural to see if that helps.

He wants to try not to do surgery for as long as possible since I am “Young” ← his words not mine. So we will try this and I report back to him in early October.

Finger and Toes crossed this helps cause I need my life back so mama can go shopping!!

Back Is Still Out

Been a bit MIA from my blog.

My back is still jacked so there has been lots of Doctor appointments and I had a MRI to confirm just how jacked it was!

So now I wait to see a Neurosurgeon ← said with lots of sarcasm. They can’t see me til the end of the month so I am uber thrilled about that.

In the meantime I do a lot of sitting on the couch and being tortured by this thing. ↓

and stretching my back with my little helper! Who almost sits on me every time! He likes to be super close to Momma when I do my  floor exercises.

Excuse the grey’s in this picture. They have since been fixed LOL!!

I am still keeping up my dogatarty/catatary duties on the Bell Fur Zoo though since I am on my computer a lot out of sheer boredom and it is still  raining a lot here so I am with them 24/7 and they are the only thing I can take pictures of!

Hopefully this week I will get out of the house some since my sis-n-law and nephew are in town!

Happy Tuesday!!!
