JustLaurie's blog: "Monday Afternoon 1-07-08"

Well, got some more happy news this afternoon. This time from the chiro. The pain I've been having in my lower back the past 2 weeks is being caused by a slipped disk. Oh happy day! I have to be adjusted every day until this gets better. He did a "kidney punch" test to make sure it's not my kidneys. I am not asking another question of another doctor for at least the next few days! Ugh! I can't lay down and I can hardly sit up. Andrew had to lift me off the couch. Thank God for his EMS training! Does anyone have any good drugs? LOL just kidding. I'll be online for a little bit if you want to stop and say hello. But please don't make me laugh! It hurts! LOL ooops ouch!

Bad news from the doc. He's not sure what is causing it, but he did mention the three options I listed in an earlier blog. I have to make appointments for a battery of tests and a surgery. I'm so frustrated and disgusted with this that I feel like saying, "yank it all out". I don't need it anyway. LOL I have no health insurance because I can't afford it. This is going to be interesting trying to pay off this bill! I'm off to the chiropractor to have my back adjusted. I've been needing it done for a while. Joe calls me his waddling penquin because I walk that way from the pain. If it's not one thing, it's another! There's not much more to tell until I have the tests done. I do appreciate your thoughts and prayers. Special thanks to Joey, Rhonda, Debbie, and Cathy for their love and support! I love you guys! xoxoxo Laurie
