I haven't written in a while due to the state of pain and craziness I have been in. I have been staying at my moms for a few days to have a total and restful break. Sure, Rob does well taking care of me and Brandon at the same time but it was one of those moments when I just needed a couple of days away. When I am resting at home in my bedroom and Rob is in the living room taking care of Brandon you can't help but want to go help Rob when Brandon is throwing a fit. I am not one to stay down when I need to...hence a horrible back situation.
I am now back home- trying to rest but it is hard. Rob accompanied me on Friday to the neurosurgeon. We are going to try a ESI (Epidural Steroid Injection) into the nerve on my spine. It wasn't painful- just odd. It isn't working either. I am still in SO MUCH PAIN!!!!! I go back to her on Friday and we will decide if we should do surgery. The surgery is major. I will be in the hospital for possibly a week. They need to put some screws and plates into my spine and chip some bone away from my pelvis almost. It is very painful and I will most likely be in a brace for 6-9 months. The thought of surgery scares me and I don't want that route. However, I can't live a life with pain meds every day and having to be in bed with my legs elevated and heating pad on to keep the pain down. I can't do this forever.
Brandon is doing well. I will upload some photos and put them on here soon.
PS- we are getting rid of Tubby. Any takers?
