OW!

So, I have always had back issues but the last few weeks my lower back has been killing me. While teaching a pump class last Monday, I bent over to grab a weight and before even picking it up, my back blew out and I fell! It was quite embarassing, however, I got through the class with clenched teeth and a participant demonstrating the exercises. Needless to say, I have a herniated disc in my lower lumbar and am hating life at the moment.

I am really appreciating the ability to just walk these days.



Tuesday morning Matt had to carry me to the bathroom (couldn't walk) and help me get dressed. My kids have all pitched in putting on my socks and shoes and helping me put on my pants - oh my!

Sad! You poor thing! I hope it doesn't take too long to heal. Love catching up on your blog.

Are you gonna have to have surgery or can they do something less invasive? My sister-in-law is a sports medicine doctor, if you need her # let me know.

There is nothing worse then having your body give out on you. This past year I had feet problems really bad and it was terrible. I feel for you!! I hope things are getting better.

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

Playing Opposites

I have been discussing opposites with the kids lately. Today (Oct. 1 ) we were doing an opposites puzzle and Aidan was doing amazingly well (turned 3, 3 months ago). There was a picture of fire with the word "hot." Here's the conversation: Me - What's the opposite of hot? Aidan - warm. Me - Well, not quite. Okay, fire is hot. What is ice? Aidan - slippery! LOL :)

Aidan - "See, I can do opposites with my toes!" ??
