Just another day

It's been pretty quiet around these parts. All I've been doing is battling my back issues. I finally got in to see a back doctor, had xrays done and finally got in for my first visit for physical therapy. Everyone seems to have a different point of view on what is wrong with my back. The only good thing is that it isn't something serious that would require surgery. Whew! So today at PT, I got a little massagy and a list of 6 excercises to do to help stretch and stregthen. I am cleared to do cardio as long as there is no pain. Which is good b/c I've taken a hiatus from working out and it is really starting to show. eek! I can't do yoga just yet. Which is a bummer but hopefuly in a month or so, I can pick that up again.

After a summer of sitting on reserve--E finally got a flight schedule this month. That has made a huge difference in how we manage our life now. Which is now done week to week. It makes things a little easier in terms of planning because now we know when he will be home and when he won't.

Other then my back, there is not a whole lot to report.

Have a good weekend!

I am so glad you aren't going to have to get any sort of surgery, that would suck so much! I hope your back gets 100% better really soon, I know that must be so frustrating to deal with. I'm sorry! That is wonderful news that E is finally on a flight schedule, so you can know how to plan things! What a relief! I know I can't stand when I don't know what things are coming when, you can't plan any social things when you don't know what's coming around the corner!

I'm glad you were able to get to a doctor and get some exercises for your back. I hope it gets better so you can go to yoga :)
