Back update

Had to wake Wyatt up this morning to help me put a diaper on Wylie. I couldn't bend over to do it. I almost had to get his help to put my underwear on but I managed with a really interesting move that I think I learned in girl scouts...dressing under the sleeping bag so as not to have cold seep in. At school, Wylie was actually a great help in that he can follow simple directions and put his diaper covers in his bin at school, put the milk on the bottom shelf, and then gave me a kiss on my leg goodbye. Of course this morning I had to carry my backpack with my laptop which was excruciating. My limp and funny walk solicited the help of a colleague and then the sympathy of the office manager. I get to park in the closer lot tomorrow morning. I tried not to whimper and whine today but I was in pain. The 800mg Motrin helped but not as much as I'd like. I did wear a therma care back heating pad all day. These are the kind that come in two packs and aren't hot until you open them. Looked like a massive maxi pad that I was wearing on my lower back but it helped all day. So now it's 9:30 and I've got a ton of bengay on my back, the heating pad in the microwave and the Family Circle magazine to read while I lay in my bed hoping for relief. Hopefully tomorrow will be better!
