9 days and a wake up

Today is Sunday, my hubby 66th birthday. We went out as a family last night to a local barbecue place, we had a nice time.  John went out with someone for lunch today, they have the same birthday.
While he was having lunch, he heard of a possible job for my future daughter in law. Their family (my son) really need to have both of them working to survive in today world.
I drove my mom to church, as she gave her call to my nephew who went to Ga for his reserve training this weekend.
 My back is giving me a hard time, along with my knee. It seems like I can't win for loosing. Oh well life goes on.

12 days and a wake up till the procedures

Well today I went to see my pain Dr P, to resigned my paperwork for the procedures, be caused it was over 30 days since a signed the first time. The nice DR answered all my questions, hopefully if tis is successful it won't take as long as they are predicting to do the permanent surgery could take as long as 2 months to get on the schedule at the hospital. It's like it might be a long summer for me. I was or should say I am still hopping to go to NC for the summer to spend time at our cabin. Going to be slow weekend no nephews or grandchild. We are going to celebrate my hubby 66th birthday this weekend. And yea I have to do my taxes this weekend.

Two weeks from today I will get the trial simulator

Ok, 13 days and counting for getting the simulator cord simulator implanted for the trial. I have high hope that this will help my pain in my back. Everyone warn me not to have too high hope that I am not disappointed with procedure. But I have done quite of bit investigation on this matter. I just want to be normal and be able to play with my nephew and my granddaughter, with hurting so much the next day that I am not able to move around at all.

Day after Easter

Well it's the day after Easter. We had our family dinner here with nine of us. Everything went well until... I went out with Rory (4 years old) and Annaleise (18 months) to play in the back yard. Everything was going great till we started playing with the plastic bat trying play t-ball, Rory is a hard hitter and my head knows it now. Yea I got clobber with the bat and it brought blood. I was hollering for my nephew to go get someone ( I have several medical people in my family) to help me along with me hollering, they finally came out to help me and they were walking slow. Supposedly couldn't hear me since they said I had been playing and hollering before. It in up a small cut and a nice goose egg over my eye.
So today, I am sore from playing and from cooking for the family. I did go to church as I had children sermons, so I brought Annaliese and Rory and one of my older nephew who is living with us went with me to church and had a good time.
The rehap center called today to set up a time for a evaluation, but I told them I would wait till after I get the simulator trial done. For me when I do physical therapy it hurts more then it helps right now.
So today it's taw toe and soccer for Rory not sure if  I will go to both or either. Just depending on how I feel.
