Two and a half years ago I had to have a lumbar fusion. Not a great time in my life I have to say. I was forced to give up my home daycare business and then go back to teaching, something I'd swear I'd never do and something I am constantly reminded of WHY I swore I'd never do it again.
Every once in a while my back creates chaos in my life and decides to be an issue like it did this week. My surgeon fears I have either herniated another disc or have an infection in my spine. He pulled me out of work for week which is kind of nice I have to admit but the farm chores still need to be done. Impatient goats greet me at the barn door, bleating sheep and peeping ducklings along with their very loud quacking parents, all want to be fed. So out I go, twice a day, pain or no pain. Still, though, I do love my little farm.
I hope you get to feeling better and it isn't too serious. I must say the animals do get to be a lot of work when you're ill or injured. I hope you have some help from the rest of the family.
ReplyDeleteI just wish I could come and help you, wish I didn't live so far away.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon and don't need further surgery.
