Today has been pretty peaceful.  I woke up this morning feeling worse but decided I needed to refocus before this really started to get to me.  The pain in my back this morning was bad and the numbness traveled.  I am now numb from my hip right down to my toes on the right side.  Not only is this annoying it’s painful.  I’m even putting off going to the bathroom because the feeling of my pants moving on my leg literally makes me nauseas.  I decided to take anti-inflammatories, pain killers, and not sit all day.  I think it’s helped.  Although the numbness has not subsided I’m a little more comfortable.

When I saw the chiropractor on Friday we talked about the numbness and he said if it doesn’t get better soon he will send to see a neurologist.  He also told me that when I go to see him Monday morning we are going to start a more aggressive treatment…ummm, ok.  That made nervous knowing how much its hurt when he wasn’t being aggressive.  So for now, I am going to try my best not to think about this and worry about it.  Just going to take it a day at a time.

Being so concerned about not being able to work out, I decided to really focus on my eating again; it’s been going really well!  We are planning on doing a long walk tomorrow so at least I’ll be able to get that in and I may attempt some other exercises tomorrow depending on how I feel.  It’s so frustrating for me not to work out.

The weekend has been pretty good so far.  We went to see Matt Kearny last night.  What an awesome show!  If you ever have the chance to see him, you must!  Even the open band, Leagues, was great.  We absolutely enjoyed every moment…except for when TJ started yelling at some obnoxious little college kid.  Tomorrow is busy, church, softball game, then Justin’s baseball practice, and a long walk somewhere in between.

Loving the fall weather we are having…makes me want to go pumpkin picking!
