OW!!! My Hip!!!!....I think.....
For the past three years I've been in the hospital for something during the month of June. I had a goal this year NOT to do that. Well...I'll have to try again next year.
In January I woke up feeling that I pulled a muscle around my hip area (okay I thought I pulled a muscle in my butt!). In February I went to the Dr and he told me that it was my sciatic nerve and gave me some medication. I went to a Chiropractor in Feb and it seemed to help. I was going to go again but then life happened and I never got around to it. When I was up in IL it seemed to be getting worse. I called for another chiropractic appointment for when I got home.
Two weeks ago I was in enough pain where I had scheduled an appointment with my Dr for Monday and then decided 5 minutes later to call back and see if I could get in that day. I went to see another Dr in the group and he told me that he thought it could be a pinched nerve. He gave me some steroids, a muscle relaxer and asked if I wanted an MRI. Since this has been going on since January I decided that this would be best. The steroids seemed to help. The muscle relaxer did not help at all.
I had the MRI on June 2nd, and decided that if I EVER had to do that again it would have to be in an OPEN MRI or they would have to dope me up. I did not like it at all!!! On June 4 I found out a had a bulging disc in my back and they scheduled me to see a back specialist.
Wednesday I went to Spine Team Texas in Southlake and the Dr told me that she thought I should go and get a lumbar epidural steroid injection. She told me that the disc in my back was pressing up against the sciatic nerve on the left side that was also pressing against the bone. I'm scheduled to do that next Thursday at Harris Methodist Southlake. Then in two weeks I have to go back to the Dr to see how I am doing. If it is better then I can do physical therapy. If not I may have to do the shot again. I have three chances to do this shot. After that then they will suggest surgery which is something I don't want to do.
this is what I'm having done http://www.spineteamtexas.com/ViewMedica.aspx?section=000102cervepisteroid
In other news....we found out that the Rader twins are going to be.....a GIRL and a BOY!!!! Their names will be Bethany Elaine and Zachary Evan

Birthdays
Two years ago Katie was like this....
Yesterday Randal was like this....
Now I know that it looks like he didn't eat much but he did. The cake had a HUGE HOLE in it from him eating. Katie also had an easier time because it was a store bought cake. I made the ugly blue cake that Randal ate.
