and my disk between L4 and L5 is leaking and my disk in losing fluid. Not particularly a good thing. So the silver lining is that I am not crazy and my pain is real. The bad news is that I have a ruptured disk. So...
For now I am going to keep doing therapy and taking this Cosamin stuff that is suppsed the help. If the pain is not better by my next appt, I will get traction 5x a week and an epidural shot of cotizone in my back.
Whatchya gonna do? I say take the family out for dinner, which is what we did. Mussels Marinara and Fried Calamari... YUM!

So I have my follow up with the back doc today and I will get the results of my MRI. Being that they didn't call me at home, I am taking that as good news.
The house is clean and my MIL arrives tomorrow. It should be a nice visit. Despite what I wrote a few days ago, I do like her and we get along. It is just hard sometimes having another person in the house and being that I am the mom/wife, all the cleaning, planning and doing falls onto me. I have everything ready for Sam's PJ party on Sunday. Two families have not RSVP-ed. Why is it so hard for some people to RSVP... either you can go or you can't. It's not neurosurgery. Anyhoo, the kids will arrive for 10AM. The kids can play downstairs in the playroom. Around 11, they will come up and while Ben is getting the pancakes ready, I will grab a few parents and we will do the parachute for the kiddos and bubbles and I have a few games. I figure the kiddos then can eat on the parachute. Easy clean up. After that we will do cake and presents and then it should be 12PM and time for everyone to go. Sam is VERY excited!!!!!!!!
Both kiddos are feeling much better. WOO HOO for the antiboitics. It is like night and freaking day. And now I have been a FLYBABY for over a month. Yeay for me!!!! I don't really follow her exact plan, but I do keep my sink clean and do 5 min room rescues all the time. And I have my own zone plan, but it is working. I no longer live in laundry hill. OHHH, we got Sam an inexpensive DVD (5 bucks!) of Cinderella made by Good Time Home Video. It is not pretty and award winning like Disney; however, the story is so simple and nice. Even tho the animation is so, so, the music is lovely and there isn't so much other crap going on (like singing mice and other stuff). When Sam has her choice of Disney and this one. She chooses the Good Times one. So I have just order her 5 more (Sleeping Beauty, Alice in Wonderland, Alladin, Pocohontis, Snow White). Sam wathces it over and over and over. Sam is soooo in love with Cinderella right now. She has been carrying around my music box, saying that it has magic in it and that her fairy Godmother gave it to her, And she has dress up slippers that are her glass slippers. She has been sleeping with both the box and the slippers the past few nights. Very Cute. Ok, time to play with the kiddos!
