I finally made it to the back doctors today for my back. Ben made me make an appt because it has been giving me trouble. I guess it has on and off since Sam was born. I personally would have blown it off cause I just would have. Sure it hurt a lot sometimes but so do lots ot things, lol. But he felt strongly about it, so I made an appointment.

So it turns out that I have a buldging disk in my lower spine. I was like WTF? So I am starting some medicine and PT. We are going to take this course for 6 weeks and see how it goes. If it doesn't help or gets worse then the next step is a MRI and traction for a month, Yuck! For traction, I would be on my back and basically streched for 25 mins a day, 5 days a week for a month or longer. Granted, it would be nice to get a little cat nap 5x a week - what a pain in the ass it would be to arrange. What exactly am I to do with the kids for 25 mins 5x a week?

I am hoping that the PT and meds work. I guess it is one step at a time - but I certainly want to take care of it. I cetainly do not want it to rupture, lol. And I am very glad that I listened to Ben and went to the doctor. Who knew?

So that is my big news for today. Blech!
