I am still not doing much. I had a rough week starting last Thursday night. I was super sore and was trying to stretch and contort myself because I thought if I could turn just right then something will pop and I will feel great. That was so not the case. I ended up getting myself worked into knots. There were large knots down my right leg from the hip to the ankle. I could hardly move myself by the time I was done. I didn�t sleep a wink on Thursday night. I was so stressed and in so much pain that I was crying all night. It was agony just to move a little bit. The spasms were the most pain I have ever had.

I called in to work on Friday and we went to the doctor. I was feeling so down because I thought this may be related to all that crap from November, Michael thought it may have been due to my recent falls, and apparently he was right. The doctor told me to increase the muscle relaxant I was on from one pill daily to 6 pills daily and he also gave me some steroids to take. When will the pills ever end? I have been on three back related pills since November.

I have one more day on steroids and we�ll see how it feels after that.

We took Stubby to the vet on Saturday. We go there to have his nails trimmed because he is pretty hard to wrestle into submission. He loves to ride in the car so it is almost a treat for him. They charge $10 to do his claws and believe me, it is worth every penny. They earn that money because he is 10 pounds of pure muscle.

This week when they brought him back to us they said they wouldn�t do it anymore. He is too aggressive. The doctor only charged us $8.00 because she couldn�t do the last leg. He has been labeled as vicious at other doctors but this actually made me very sad. I love this doctor and all of the people who work there. Check out Stubby here www.meankitty.com, he is located several rows down. Even the cat is featured on a website, we are a truly geeky family.

Once we got home we tried to finish the last leg, but Michael was wounded and we never finished.

Not a fun week at our house.
