What Have I Been Up To?

Let's just say I didn't realize at the ripe age of 29 I was going to be facing back problems.  I guessed wrong.  Thursday morning during my training run I took a step and felt a pop and all went down hill from there.  I felt like my alignment was off so I immediately went to the chiropracter only to hobble out of there in more pain than when I went in.  Terrible muscle spasms were leaving me in tears so off to the pain specialist I went on Friday morning.  After a steroid shot, muscle relaxers, oral steroids and a Tens unit, I am now able to walk completely upright.  Unfortunately, picking up Macy is still proving to be a challenge and therefore Ella has been trying her hand at 'Mommying' poor Macy.  That baby has been carried all over the place and scaring me to death.  Thankfully I'm off the couch today and hopefully getting over this.  I have had back trouble for several years now, having flare ups frequently, never this bad.  So today I scheduled an MRI and praying that all is clear.  I really do not want to go through this again and so I want to be sure that my back is healthy before jumping back on the streets again.  I'll be sure to keep you all updated!
