Fun Fun Friday

What a day we had today! It started out with meeting Jessica and Luke at the bouncy house place where we had two fun filled hours of boucning. Makayla had too much fun while we were there and cried when we left. Jessica and I had to laugh at her a few times when she got her attitude going because other children there werent listening to her. We dont call her mini me for no reason! hehehehe

Then we came home to take a nap. After that I had to run to my doctor who finally came back into the country to get the game plan going for my back. He really explained to me all the goings on with my back complete with diagrams. Things are much worse than I originally thought. Basically my disk is herniated but its also compressing my spinal cord and nerves. I told him that I wouldnt be having any surgery until it was absolutely necessary so he is sending me to a specialist that will give me some steroid injections in my back that will act as an epidural. This will relieve all my pain and give me the ability to function again. Its basically a bandaid fix but its the cheapest route to take so thats what we are going with. He is calling his doctor friend this weekend and told me to call on Monday to make the appointment. We will see how much this is going to set me back. I hope it wont be anything like the $750 consultation fee the neurologist was going to charge me!

Tomorrow is a fun fill day of last minute Christmas shopping... woot woot! Ill be going through pictures soon and updating again later!
