Satan's Holiday

We originally were going to visit family and friends in Indiana this week but I decided I wasn't up for sitting in the car for several hours yet. The past week has been much better than the previous few weeks. I'm walking close to normal and pains come and go and don't linger too long. I've also been working out more than an hour a day (30mins in morning and evening). My exercises increase every week by my physical therapist. Yesterday we worked on nothing but body mechanics -- how to grab and object and place it on the ground. I also worked on stomach muscle exercises and we talked about how much baby lifting should I be doing right now. Probably the toughest part of this injury is lack of holding Julian. I'm not supposed to hold him too much to put strain on my back, so I usually chill out with him on the couch or in bed, or do things like change his diaper on our changing table (which is at a good height for me).

I think back of those days of carrying giant computer monitors down stairwells, or lifting an entire dresser by myself, it's stupid, those days are over, and I'm more than happy to be free of them. I always wanted to outdo myself, and in the end I did.

Today is Halloween and none of us are prepared, we've pretty much just hung around listening to music, looking at pictures on Flickr, watching Julian, and taking walks in our hood this week. The house is kind of a wreck, but it doesn't matter, Julian is doing well, I'm feeling better, and Lewis enjoys being around us. :)
