What is today anyway?? So i have been flat on my back since Sunday but today a miracle happened. I can sit up and stand up for short periods of time. Tuesday my mom came down and took care of me, Andrew, and the house. She is AMAZING. I was blessed with the best mother in the whole world. Andrew loved playing with his mema and was sad to see her go. She was here for almost 12 hours!!!!! THANKS MOM, WE LOVE YOU! My mom also took me to a chiropractor to see if I could get some relief. He scared me. First he started popping my spine and neck and i was frozen with fear thinking he was going to try to come near my lower back which killed. I think Chiropractors have no sympathy for pain because he was sitting me up, moving me etc even as I screamed in pain but i did get to lay on some table and have this thing roll up and down my back, that was the best part.
Today i took a shower!!! Yee haw, first shower since Sunday. My sister Jill spent the night last night so she would be here for me when Franco went to work. It is so nice to have family who loves me so much to help. I also think it is good for Andrew to have them around so he doesn't scream so much around strangers. I do have to say real fast though yesterday with my mom Andrew didn't care if i was around, or cry. He loved every minute of my moms presence.
So i went out to get some sun this afternoon out front and my neighbor was out there. She brought over a thing that tapes on my muscles and then you turn it on and electric pulses are sent out to the muscles and she has wonderful muscle relaxers she gave me.
Did i mention have have taken Pericocet and Oxicodone and neither worked, RRRR? Crazy huh.
So, I am up for a few minutes then back down with ice on my back but seriously like a 100% improvement from the last few days. I got to hold Andrew today and change his diaper for the first time in a few days. So..that is what is going on with me. :) Happy Wednesday.

Well Ang you scared me with your back ailments and mine has been hurting so bad that I decided to visit the chiropractor today and he made me feel a little better but I have to go back on Friday, so hopefully he can make me feel lots better!!!! I am glad to hear that you are atleast able to take a shower I was beginning to smell you all the way down here in Orem. J/K I really do hope that you get feeling all better soon.
Maybe there is an end in site. Back pain is THE WORST and I feel for you.
Isn't it just awesome that you have such great friends and family that pull together to help when you need it most. You have to love that!
Glad you can do a few of the everydays.
