I figured it had been a while since the last post that I would write a new one today and update you. Surprisingly, I have not been in much pain the last few weeks. I have not had to go to a chiropractor in weeks nor have I had to take any medicine!! Do I think I am healed? No! Do I think that God is relieving my pain? Yes! Luckily I have felt like my old self. I've been able to play with the kids, move like I usually do, run errands, volunteer at school, etc with no back pain! Now, if I push myself (like wear heels for 12 hours a day or stand on my feet ALL day without a break) then yes, I have lower back pain. So I think maybe I know my limits well enough now that I am able to control the pain more.
My next doctor's appointment is coming up in just a few weeks. I am looking forward to seeing what Dr. Lenke in St. Louis has to say.
If he has the same attitude/opinion about the surgery as the Dallas doctor, I am planning on pushing the surgery back to summer 2012, unless they can get me in this summer (summer 2011).
My little sister will be a senior next year. I don't want to miss her volleyball games her senior year. I don't want to miss her homecomings or Prom. Not that I would be at the dances, but I always enjoy seeing her in her beautiful dresses! I especially do not want to miss her graduation! So I think the summer after she graduates might be the best time. As long as I still have someone to help me with the kids. I wonder if my little sister would want to take care of me and her niece and nephew before she goes off to college??!! ;)
