Back Surgery

A few weeks ago I had another MRI. The disc in my back is worse. The numbness is still in my leg and foot, so I went to the spine specialist. It turns out that I'm going to have to have a microdiscectomy. It's a procedure where they go in and cut the disc out that's touching the nerve root. I'm a little nervous,but feel like this is what I need to do so that the nerves can heal without any permanent damage. I'm not going to be able to lift more than 15 lbs, or bend and twist for 6-8 weeks. Yeah right I've got 4 kids!!
Luckily I have a good husband and mom. I'm lucky to have family and friends to help me out. I feel really bad because my summer is going to be pretty much shot, but if I heal up good then next summer will be a blast, cuz it's not fun being miserable either.

Gymnastics

Both Lydia and Elsie have been taking gymnastics from Shelly the past year. They love it! They were able to perform the other night at the Bear Lake Education Foundation Variety Show. They did such a great job. Lydia was given the Rocky Mountain Springer of the Month this month for working so hard. They perform again this Friday at the Lakette review.
