I feel like I'm on a seesaw. Today hubby felt better and was leaning toward doing therapy and waiting to see if his back pain improved. He felt so good he decided to get up and walk around . . . and ended up in severe pain before falling back into...

Hubby is ready to throw in the towel and just have the surgery. His pain today seemed to be much worse and I think he's just getting tired of it being there constantly. I don't know how he's managed to hold on this long; it's been almost two weeks...

There's been a delay. Hubby decided after reading up on herniated disks that he wanted to talk to the doctor in person and look at the MRI films. He has an appointment on Monday morning to do just that. There's also a list of questions he wants to...

He couldn't make it to his appointment this afternoon. Hubby was in just too much pain. Standing or sitting for more than 30-45 seconds brings on the suffering. The doctor called us instead to explain what he saw on the MRI. Turns out as we expect...

Got up early to read. Cleaned out the inside of the car. Ironed clothes. Washed breakfast dishes. That wasn't me. It was hubby. I did convince him to let me wash the floors.

Still no answer. The doctor sent hubby out to have an MRI done. Then he has another appointment on Thursday to get the results of that.
He wasn't doing too badly this morning. He could actually sit at the table for about 30 minutes at a time with...

The tide has finally turned, or it will have if hubby will just take care of himself. He woke feeling better this morning. But then he stood over the kitchen sink to wash breakfast dishes and cleaned the bathroom toilet in spite of my threats to h...

Made it through another one. After being in bed for five days, hubby needed a laxative which meant another trip to Walmart. The pharmacist there was wonderful and made suggestions and gave me info on the meds hubby is taking. Seems the vicodin is ...

I don't know if we'll even make it until Monday's appointment. Hubby can't even sit up long enough to brush his teeth or take his pills. He keeps trying to sit up to do things and ends up in pain within a minute. The pain seems to be worse this ev...
