H Everyone -

I've been here in the hospital for almost a week now and thought it was about time to let you know where I am and what I doing.

You know... it has now been 4 months since my back surgery and life hasn't been going so well for me. But, last Sunday everything really fell apart. After sitting down on the toilet, I realized I couldn't get back up again. My hubby called the doctor who said I should come into the hospital. Well, JR couldn't get me out to the car and to town so we came in via the ambulance.

The ER doctor examined me and said I need to see a back doctor and that for now, I was suppose to go home, take some pain meds, and make an appointment with the back doctor. Well... JR blew up and said that he couldn't get me back home and that I was going to stay at the hospital until I could see the doctor and get treated. He said he wasn't going to hire another ambulance to take me back home again. Of course, the ER doc knew better than to argue with this irate cowboy. lol And so that is the short version of how I have come to be here in the hospital for this whole week.

During this week, I have had an MRI and found out that I blew out the left side of the disk that was fixed on December 26th. Now, I have been waiting to consult with the surgeon tomorrow to see what he is going to do and when he is going to do it. Hope fully I will have more news for you in the next couple of days. I've also got lots to tell you about my adventures here, but I'm too tired today. Soooo.... watch for my next post. Love you all very much. Annie :o)
