UNbelievable

As most of you know, Greg has been down with some serious nerve damage for the last 3 weeks.  He is getting better, but it has been slow, and he has a long ways to go yet.  Freakishly.....last Tuesday, I began to notice what at first was mild discomfort in my lower right back.  Within 24 hours though, it became quite painful, and then I noticed my entire right hip and thigh were numb.  And by day two, the pain was really bad.  I could NOT believe that I too was having nerve pain like Greg?  And how???  I didn't recall doing any one thing that hurt my back.  I do remember giving Noah a "horsey" ride on my legs, but it didn't hurt.  At least not at the time.  I went ahead and made myself a Dr. appointment for yesterday afternoon.  If you know me, you know I was hurting, because I don't go to the doctors unless I absolutely MUST!  By the time I went to the doctor's office, I was in a world of hurt!  I am so glad I went.  She felt that the spine and discs were okay, but that I had a badly pulled and inflamed muscle that was pressing on a nerve.  She gave me 5 scrips, 3 for my back, and two for my skin.  She said it would be a good 30 days until I was back to myself.  I go back in two weeks and will then probably start some PT.  Our house looks like a couple of elderly and infirm live here.

 I am a goer, a mover, a doer.  I don't "do" laying around, taking it easy.  It just isn't me.  I hate it.  I hate to sit still.  I hate to be stuck in the house all day.  I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!  I'm not sick!!!  It is beautiful outside!  I want to go work in the yard, or walk around  Sam's Club, or drive out to Cajalco and go shopping!  I want to talk about where we can go out to dinner, and then go see a movie!!! 
Waaaaaaaaa!!!!!!   I don't like this!!!!!
