It was a nice weekend spending quality time with Yvette. I even went and had menudo by myself at Yvette’s parents. I thought menudo was Sunday so I missed Yvette and showed up better late than never. The menudo was just as good as always. They also had some barbacoa which was also fantastic. Her mother kept handing me corn tortillas. I left a happy man and I’m glad that I went.
Saint Patrick’s Day. I went out for lunch with my mom. Yvette was under the weather. I guess the weather was so crappy there wasn’t a whole lot anyone could do. I heated up some potato soup for her that evening. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a green beer. No green food coloring but I had blue and yellow. Haha.
The week did turn out to be a pretty one. I really need to start working in my yard. I hate oak trees this time of year. So messy. I wiped out the weeds and it seems that was all that was keeping it not being dirt. Success.
So back in July I royally fucked upon my already bad back. After 6 months of physical therapy, meds for the pain, multiple MRI’s and a meeting with a neurosurgeon I am finally feeling better. The PT really helped. Mondays visit with the neurosurgeon was vastly informative. It was interesting to have the imagery from my MRI explained to me. I was able to recognize the for fucked up disc compared to the one that were normal. It was very noticeable. One in particular was very noticeable. The surgeon didn’t recommend a procedure, but he did say if the pain increases he will set up spinal injections. He said since the PT helped I should be okay if I keep that up.
The PT did help. When I hurt myself in July of last year I was barely moving and falling down. I was force to take campus elevators. I hated that. Eventually I could walk up the stairs slowly holding the rails. I progressed to not needing the rails. Now I can run up stairs again. You have no freaking idea how exciting it was to run up a stairwell. Such a great feeling to have my mobility back. I mean, at one point I wondered if I needed a cain to walk it was so bad. Just need to be very careful going forward in life. Hopefully I can avoid surgery. 🤞🤞
The weekend is going to hopefully be busy. I’ll be bagging leaves and planting some grass. I hate bagging but it must be done. I hair laying sod but it needs to be done. Maybe I’ll find some time to have some fun.
Happy Friday!!!
