I had so much fun doing this ( love, love buying, creating and wrapping girlie things),and had to do it early and drop it off since I will be away on Valentine's Day.
Dan surprise me - just last night (and Griff - he is on 'winter' break) with a little get away to the Cloisters at Sea Island. We are leaving bright and early in the morning and staying through the weekend - so excited (although I could have used a bit more notice - I have been crazy today trying to get things in order here - dogs/house sitter, cancel appointments, laundry, pack). Still, such a sweet surprise from my sweet husband!
Also, I had my second epidural injection this morning and it was huge difference from the first. Much more painful, so much so that it brought tears to my eyes :(. Since the first injection didn't work, the doctor had to inject in the exact area of my neck were the disc is herniated. He explained that it was a much more difficult area to work on, that he had to be very precise and I had to be very, very still ... and that it was going to be painful - he said all this while I was laying flat on my stomach, with those tears running down, trying to be so still and yes, in excruciating pain. A bit scary, but it was all over in 10 minutes. I had to rest there for a while with an ice pack and had to have a ride home. This was a good thing - I was quite shaky. The pain has been bad all day (it most often is worse the 2 days after) and the ibuprofen is not helping much, when is usually does ease the pain some. But ... once again, I am hoping and praying ... oh so hard that this injection will ease the pain. I think my next alternative is surgery.
Happy Valentine's Day to you all
