Saturday was a day of recovery for me. Since returning from my trip to SC, I have been in
excruciating pain. I have only had back issues once in the past, but this time was a
doozy. I drove Chris' car on the trip and it absolutely did not get along with my back. I went to work on Tuesday, stayed home on Wednesday, and went back to work on Thursday and was in complete agony. I was quite happy on Friday when I realized that I could come home again and spend the day laying on the hard ground on my back! Saturday I tried to venture out and went to the dog park for an hour. I thought since I could sit the entire time that it would be fine. I was wrong! So, back to the hard ground for the rest of the day. Yesterday was slightly better and today for the first time in a week I can stand up straight! I just need to remind myself not to jump into my normal routine of walking quite a few miles a day until I'm completely healed. It is hard to restrain from heading out! Chris has been awesome and has been walking Abby and
Hanzie for me each day at least a couple times a day so I'm not in complete pain and guilt! Tonight I'll try for a short walk and I will certainly have to get up tomorrow at 5:30 to walk them. Chris loves me, just not that much!

Abby checking things out at the park. She is nothing like Hanzie and completely forgets that I exist while we are at the dog park. Hanzie, on the other hand, never leaves my side!
Abby is finally becoming a bit more coordinated.
This is where the kids spend the majority of their time!

I hear your pain. I just had another lumbar epidural injection for my ongoing back pain. Unfortunately, it's not working as well as the last one before this did (about 5 months ago). Back problems are terrible! Abby is looking a lot like Sophie did. She doesn't have that typical blocky head; it's more long. Sophie doesn't have the typical luxurious feeling lab coat. One of these days I'm going to have her DNA tested to see if she is really a mix.
