I took a short morning walk to get things feeling a bit better, and I listened to this episode about the Chicago Marathon. So many interesting points were made about Ruth Chepngetich breaking 2:10 there.
Doctor’s orders: A massage. If you are in Utah County, I have the massage therapist for you. She somehow makes it a sports massage and relaxing massage all at once while finding every point on your body that needs to be worked on.
Beck has been looking forward to yesterday’s events for a very long time. Our friend’s son is the fire captain at a local fire station, and we were able to go and learn all about Beck’s favorite things:
It was almost too much joy for him to handle. His 4th birthday in a few days will include all things related to firetrucks and Tesla.
I had my MRI yesterday! I even fell asleep while in it; the noise was nothing compared to home life;).
My friend immediately found the problem, and it all makes sense now! I’m really relieved because this is completely treatable. Leading up to the MRI, I was nervous that the problem wouldn’t show up, and I would still be left guessing. I’m so happy to have an answer. I have a bulge/protruding disc in my lower back between my L5 & S1, affecting the S1 nerve, which can cause all of the symptoms I have been dealing with. I’ll be going to PT, getting a steroid injection, and avoiding anything that will make it worse, and hopefully, that will manage the pain. If that doesn’t help, we will consider a minimally invasive surgery to fix the problem.
I came home to Beck eating a Chick-fil-A sauce straight out of the packet… and I’m not sure when this packet was brought into our home.
We finished off the day with ‘The Bad Robot.’ 5 stars from all of us.
I’m really thankful for heating pads right about now.
Molly brought up a very important point yesterday, another pro of this injury is I am saving money and my tastebuds from gels… I don’t miss these one bit.
