I am so tired today. Here I sit at the computer and my kitchen and most of the rest of the house is a mess. I know I really should go upstairs and do the dishes but I do not want to. It really sucks living without a dishwasher. It seems like the minute I finish washing dishes there are more to wash and it's not like I can just stick them in a dishwasher where they are out of sight. *sigh* Oh well maybe someday. I will probably be like my mom and not get one until all the kids have grown and moved away.
We went to the library today to get books and our weekly video for the kids. It was George's turn to pick a video so he got a Veggie Tales one. It's called Shad, Rock and Benny. Pretty good. There is a part where one of the characters sings "Good morning George! How are you?" I love it. I'll be waking George up with that from now on.
Went to a baby shower for my niece last night. *Pang* It was fun to go to the store and shop for the little clothes *Pang* I have been noticing just how big George is getting *pang*, we had to go and buy him some new shoes because he has out grown all the pairs that he has. *Pang* Ty and I had talked about trying to get pregnant in September but unless there are some drastic changes with my back and our finances we will probably have to wait until sometime next year. *Pang* and *sigh*
Well the Dr. wants to start physical therapy and try a cortizone shot before we go for surgery which is okay, I guess. I just worry if this is just dragging out the fact that surgery is inevitable. We went to the Dr. Monday and he said that another place would be contacting us about the cortizone shot in a couple of days. Well here it is Friday and we have heard bupkis, nada. I called the office yesterday but the girl basically said that once they send the fax out it is out of their hands. If I don't hear something within the next couple of hours then I am going to call the office again and either make them call the place that is supposed to call me and set up the appt. or tell them to give me the phone number and I will call them and see why they are dragging their feet on this.
I have my second PT (Physical Therapy) appt. tonight at 5. I went to the first one Wednesday. It was very nice and relaxing. They did electrical stimulation and an ultrasound on my back. They also gave me excercises to do. The therapist said every two hours or 4 to 6 times a day. I could only do them 4 times yesterday because my back started to get sore and he told me to listen to my body.
My younger brother "coined" out of rehab last week. Alli asked what "coining out" was. I think that they get certain tokens or coins as they progress in rehab and then when they are ready to head out into the real world they give the coins back but I'm not sure. As far as I know none of the family was there. I don't know if he changed his mind or what. He has to go to meetings pretty much every day and stay drug free for a year or he goes to jail. I hope that he can get things straightened out.
I want to give a big thanks to Fahim for creating Blog, the program that Ty used to get this up and running. I am really enjoying it and think it's a great application. Well off to get ready for the dr.
This is my first entry on my new blog made by my wonderful husband. (Marvelous, Astounding, Superb, he gave me those words *g*) He has been working hard on this all weekend and I am really grateful to him. We go into see the dr. tomorrow about my back. I am a bit nervous about it but not overly. There is nothing that I can really do about the situation so why worry, kwim? I just want some answers. What I am worried about is that the dr. will just say that he can't tell anything for sure from the CT scan and he will schedule an MRI. Which would mean more waiting. *sigh* Oh well I guess we'll know tomorrow morning.
My brother Ben was supposed to "coin out" of rehab but things have changed there. They basically kicked him out without actually kicking him out and he has terms that he has to fulfill or he will be officially kicked out. That probably doesn't make sense but it's the best way I can describe it. He is now living with mom and dad again. I am honestly trying to ignore the situation. I know I shouldn't but that's what I am doing right now.
We borrowed The Wizard of Oz from Ty's grandma and watched it today. It is the first time that my kids have seen it. They really enjoyed it too. I was worried that they would be scared by the flying monkeys and the witch but they were actually pretty okay with it. They didn't like the monkeys or the witch but they didn't run screaming from the room or anything. We also checked out The Yellow Submarine video from the library. Jona LOVES this show. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it. It's fun, wierd and you can't go wrong with the Beetles.
Well just wanted to take my new blog for a test run so I'll finish up now. I really need to get some sleep for the dr. appt. tomorrow but I don't know how well I will be able to sleep anyway. Night all.
