November birthdays and surgery

Today is November 6th, Loralee's birthday! Happy Birthday Loralee.

I am recovering from a diskectomy. That sounds gross, and I don't feel so great, so recovering is the key word. Last Friday I had surgery on my L5 to remove a piece of disk that has been causing me much havoc. When I awoke, I was in great pain and I actually thought it didn't work. What will happen (I hope) is that with time, the nerves will fix themselves and the pain in my left leg will totally go away. Until then, I have to be patient, which I am not good at. I am missing work, church and all the things that keep me busy.

Two days ago, was the 4th and Chad's birthday. This was his first birthday at home in 2 years, and so I was a little down about it because I was out of commission. Mark and I managed to make him a cake and Mark took him shopping. I hope he had a great day. No pictures! I am so bad at this. Well, at least it is an update.
