January and the first part of February were not great for me. To give the shortened version I have 2 herniated disc and had to see a specialist. They gave me a very painful injection (like an epidural without the paralizing factor) that has really helped. No more shooting pain down my leg! But it took me almost 3 weeks to get in to the Orthopedic Surgeon to get this injection. (unless you're unconcious and need surgery, :) I would not recomend him.)
I pretty much just laid around for 3+ weeks. It just about made me completely crazy. I think I'm still working on recovering. So, to all the stay at home moms/homemakers/etc. You're amazing! I cant do it. :)
I'm back to work now. I guess its a good thing, it has given me prespective. Getting a little break from work is great. But a month is not so great. The little bit of time work keeps me out of the house is almost necessary for me.
My poor husband has put up with my incessant nagging about getting out of the house, "doing something besides watch tv", craky-ness, (ok, mood swing insanity sounds more fitting) and he's done it all with a smile while working like crazy. :) I have the best husband in the world. Seriously, if this last 2 months hasn't convinced him to leave me, nothing will. ;)
Trying to focus on positive: My husband is incredible. I love my jobs. We have a house, not an apartment. We have great insurance for my accident prone butt. I think I'm scaring myself into going to the gym. :) If nothing else, its made me believe in this quote more than ever.
"That which does not kill us makes us stronger."

karleigh you and i must be related! im horribly accident prone!
glad you are better. and dont feel bad we all get cabin fever sometimes
Karleigh, it's so true, being a stay-at-home mom is much harder than I thought it would be.... especially in the winter with no car! Luckily the weather is starting to get warmer and I can go for walks once again, finally fresh air!
I hope you get well soon. Keep up the awesome attitude!
