A Day of Wifery

Not even sure that is a word, but as my fellow M.Ed. graduates agreed, with a Master's in English you earn the right to coin your own terms.

Today, Neil had his injection for his back. His doctors wanted to try the injections again since the herniation moved when he fell on Mother's Day weekend. We are trying to avoid surgery so I am constantly keeping fingers, toes and anything else I can bend crossed in hopes that the steroids work some kind of magic for him.

Neither of us could seem to fall asleep last night, and we both hated getting up early for the 8 am appointment. But, we made it with time to spare, and Neil was only with the doctor's for a little over an hour. The injection is technically outpatient surgery, with an IV and drugs to help the process. He did well and is now sleeping off the meds while I keep watch in the living room.

I have one or two errands to run; however, my cautious side won't let me leave until he has woken up from this slumber. I don't want him to need some help and have to wait for me to get back. Wii Fit is also in my plans for today, but I think I will wait to do that too. I make too much noise jumping around... I managed to complete one of the errands online- I ordered the 30 day Shred DVD from Amazon. While sitting on my ass on the couch. Ironic, I know.

I'll update later I'm sure. Now, off to hunt and gather some lunch :)
