Happy Birthday

On Friday (the 16th) I had a birthday! Not that I am excited about turning another year older or anything but I am totally bragging about the birthday present that Ben got me this year. Now it is something that we both have wanted. Ben knows that I have wanted it alot longer than he has.



I have had fun the past few days just playing around with our new camera. Ben has too I might add. I would post some of the pictures that we have been taking but I am at work and should not be blogging right now but I am bored. I took some fun pictures the other night of Eliza & Huck playing with Grandpa!

In other news (for those of you that don't already know) about 2 weeks ago my right leg started to hurt really bad. At first it felt like I was getting a charley horse type cramp in my leg. But the pain just kept getting worse. By Wednesday my leg was going numb. Well when my boss found out, I just started to cry because I had been holding it in since sunday, hoping that it would just go away. I checked myself into the er because the dr on at the time thought that I might have a blodd clot in my leg. Well he ordered and Ultrasound and a CT angio and nothing. He gave me some pain meds and told me to follow up with a neuologist.

So the next morning I tried to get into see a dr but couldn't get in. Later that night the pain wasn't going away even with pain meds. So I got brave and called the neuologist on call for the er and made an appt with him for Friday. I went in to see him on Friday. I went to the dr and he found that I had lost the relfex in my right leg. He ordered an MRI of my back because at this point he figured that I had a problem with the discs in my lower back and that they were causing the pain in my leg. Sure enough I had a bulged disc in my lower back. Right now we are trying physical therapy. If I don't recover fully after the PT then my next option is surgery. I am hoping and praying that all I will need is PT!
