Just an update on my back!!!

So, I spoke with the neurosurgeon a couple of weeks ago. He suggested that I try an epidural injection to relieve some of the pain. I decided to go ahead and do it. I went in yesterday for the procedure. The doctor yesterday wanted to do a slightly different injection, but he did have his reasoning for it. So, they knocked me out and then did four injections in my low back. Let me tell you something. When that anesthetic wore off I was in a world of hurt. They told me I would be a little sore, but I wasn't expecting that. So, anyway I'm still hurting but I am optimistic that it will get better over the next couple of weeks. My husband has been wonderful and very compassionate through the whole thing. He is so patient with me! So, if this does work than I just have to get a couple injections every year. I think I would much rather do this than surgery that's for sure. So, since we have been able to put off the surgery, at least for a while, we have come up with a new plan. We are looking into buying a house and we are so excited about it!! I am getting really sick of living in an apartment and I want more space for us. So, we have found some houses that we really like, but we will just have to wait and see. That's about all the updates from the Hemphill's!!!

That's so exciting that you might get a house! It's fun to go house shopping. So did the injection work? I'm sorry it was painful! That sounds awful. Let me know if you need anything!
