The view from the window

Jump to Comments

There is not much I can do from the bed other than to watch the blue sky and green grass.  I would love to be outside working in the yard today!  I walked around the yard this morning after my doctors appointment as my in-laws were sweeping the fresh cut grass off the walkway.  We talked about all the things we would like to see done in the yard this year and I am ready to get busy!  Well as soon as I can walk better I guess…

So today I will just sit and watch out the window and wish I was outside. 

Well what else will I do from my bed that I am quickly begining to hate???  Blake gave me a list of items to price out for the house.  Maybe I can’t get up and do anything but maybe I can help move things along by doing some price checking.  Tomorrow we go pick up our front door we had ordered.  We are putting in a french door to help take advantage of any light coming in we can!

The dogs are being very good today.  I have the window opened so that they can enjoy some of the outdoors too.  They are just laying around with me like they can’t get up either.  I must say they have been very good this weekend and extremly gentle with me.  Well except when Chloe decided to jump on the bed and jump on me yesterday.  I think she was really trying to help me forget my back pain by stepping on my throat.  Really I think she was just confused and freaking out because I had just gotten up to go to the bathroom and on the way back I had a bad muscle spasm and Blake had to drag me back to the bed.  At some point I just started laughing at myself and my situation and I think it scared Chloe.  I was in pain and couldn’t walk but couldn’t help but laugh of what a sight it must have been as he pulled me across the floor. 

With that embarrassment revealed I think I will go crawl under the blankets and take a good nap!

  • GIRL! I will be praying for you- I mean that.
    Things are going much better for me (fromthe last e-mail). Last week was Spring Break and i enjoyed no computer for a week. So now, I will get some blogs going. Diesel is big - 30 pounds. He got some shots today so he is resting. give me a day or two with the blog- sorry about Chloes nose! :-(

  • I know how painful muscle spasms can be. I have had them several times. Which reminds me of a story I can post.

    Has the doctor prescribed any muscle relaxers for you?

  • How are you feeling? Don’t you DARE get out there and do yard work! Stay in bed as much as it might flip you out!!!

    I hope you feel better!!!
