BUSY BUSY BUSY

So, I'm finally able to sit down at the computer for more than 5 minutes without just checking my e-mails. We are moved in and enjoying our new home. We have a few more boxes to unpack, but all the necessities are unpacked and some decorations are on the wall, so I'm happy. Only boxes left to unpack are some of the girls room decor and all our home office stuff. I have a drawer dedicated to bills in the meantime. Ill probably take some pictures once everything is unpacked and then post them online. We want to plan a cookout one weekend, but we want to get the office organized and up to date first. Ive been working in Ian's office for about 3 weeks now, and I LOVE IT. It gets me out of the house and I get to have ADULT conversations. Abigail is now going to pre-school and Joanna to daycare. It is at the same facility, so its convenient to be able to drop them off and pick them up at the same place. Today, when I went to pick them up, Joanna was playing in a sandbox and did not want to come home. In a way, I'm glad she is enjoying herself, but then I feel saddened that she is having so much fun that she doesn't want to come back home with me. Taylor has been spending time with me at the office. I enjoy her being there, but there are times where she needs me, but I am in the middle of dealing with a patient, that I leave her crying for a few minutes longer. I glad she is happy to see me when I finally go get her.
Ive been having the VAX-D treatments for a little over a week now. The pain is no longer constant, but it has increased in amount. I was told this was normal due to the disc being moved. I guess its a good thing. Still refusing to take pain meds. It gets bad at times, but it was worse before and I didn't have the meds, so I know I can get through it, plus if I feel I need them, then I have them. I have about another week or two of treatments (4 a week) so we will see what happens. In the meantime, Ian is going to show me some core strengthening exercises. He showed me some the other night, but I wasn't able to do most due to pain. I guess we are just going to have to take things slowly. I hate it because I'm finally motivated to exercise and now I cant. Go figure, huh?
Well, I'm off to make dinner, so as usual....Until Next Time.
