Back updates

Since my last appt. the doc. scheduled me an MRI on 22nd. My kiddos at school all knew my hip was hurting and had been going to the dr. Well last Friday, they asked me what the dr. said. I told them my back was broke. 4-year olds can't grasp that, so I drew a picture of my head, spine, vertebrae (with one broken). The got that, then they wanted to know how it happened. I drew pictures of that well (my house, barn, yard, car, truck) and talked them through the events. They were all very interested and were able to tell the whole story back. Needless to say, told their parents all of it. I told them about my next appt. (MRI) and that I was in a big tube. Everyday until Wed. they'd ask if I'd gone in the tube yet. Very fascinated by all of this! So, Wed. was the big day. However, my day really didn't go as I had planned. Originally, it was just supposed to be me going to the dr. I had 2 appts. that day. One, you all don't need to know about about and the 2nd the MRI. I got ready to leave my house and my tire pressure light came on. It'd done it before and we just turned it off. The tire had been low so I thought I'd better get it checked. I was taking a half-day off anyway. Mind you it was absolutely pouring that day. Brooke, being the great friend she is took off and met me at Wal-mart and left my car to be checked over and get the tired rotated. The 1st dr. appt went well. Oct. is a busy month for babies. The dr. across the hall had to leave and go deliver 4 babies. Anyway, after the 1st appt. we walked down the hall for my next one (MRI). We were rather early and figured we'd have to wait. Got all the paperwork filled out and paid my $250. The girl that was going the MRI's was a girl I went to hs school and really didn't care for and still don't particularly. Anyway, they called me back and got changed and laid on the table thingy. It only took about 20 min. They put ear plugs in my ears. Good thing! It was very loud and the whole time it just clicked and made weird sounds. It felt like being in a tanning bed except there were no lamps. It wasn't bad at all. Afterwards, they gave me a cd to take to my dr. I have my next appt. next Wed. @ 3:00 to go over the results. In the meantime I'm in pain and there's nothing to fix it! My luck they'll say oh you've been like this for 4 months, you'll be fine..lol. So we went to get my car and my tire had a hole in it. I had road hazard so I got a new tire and only had to pay $9. That wasn't bad at all. So there's everything in a nut-shell I guess. My parents and Steph get home from their cruise tomorrow. We found a dead mouse this morning (now I know what the smell was in office). Tony came home just in time!!! Now, he's off fixing the garage door. Tomorrow we're having Brooke and George over for Brooke and Tony's b-days. Brooke's as the 20 and Tony's was the 21st. I'm making him German food like I do every year and Brooke her cupcake.
