Oh the Pain!

Last week Paige drew 1st Blood. She was walking around with her bottle in her mouth and ran right into our sofa table. She hit the leg and gashed her lip open. Rod was surprised I handled it so well, he thought I would have a melt down the first time she really go hurt! But I didn't I just washed her up. She was fine, once she got her bottle back. She had a fat lip for a couple days, but now you can't even tell.

Last week we had an unfortunate event occur at Rod's Grandparents house. They have had a little miniature poodle, named Peaches for probably a good 12 years. Grandpa let Peaches out to go potty and the neighbors dog got loose from his pen and charged at Peaches. He practically ate him and the owner of the dog, rushed Peaches and Grandpa & Grandma to the animal hospital in Bloomington. Unfortunately, there wasn't much they could do and Peaches was put to sleep. Poor Peaches was a lovely pup and will be dearly missed! RIP.

On a lighter note, Friday evening Grandma & Grandpa got moved into their new home at Woodridge Supportive Living Center. I took Paige out there to run around, while Rod and the guys moved in furniture. It was really nice, they have a movie theater, a salon, a library, and craft center, and the dining room, truly looked like a restaurant. I think they will be happy there and will get to socialize more once it fills up with residence.

Saturday, I woke up and could hardly move, the night before I tweaked my back and my pinched nerve really hurt! It felt like sharp stabbing pains over and over again! I wore a heat patch all day and loaded up on 800 mg Ibuprofen. When I picked Paige up, it put me too tears, so I didn't pick her up the rest of the day. That was really hard, but by 3:00, it started to give a little relief. Which I was so happy about because we already had plans to go to the Elk's Club that night for a comedy show to benefit the Pontiac Fire Department.

The Comedy show was so good! We had 9 people at our table and everyone was cracking up the whole time! The food wasn't bad either and it was nice to see all our friends. We will defiantly attend next year for sure!

Sunday was kinda lazy, my back felt much better and I actually could hold Paige again! I did get the Laundry done and I went through all of Paige's clothes and packed up all of them that are too small. Sunday night Rod had to work, so Paige and I went to Monicals for Pizza with Peg & Stubby. I got home and still can not find my cell phone anywhere! I called Peg this morning and she said she would look in her van, otherwise I must have left it at Monicals. Hopefully it will turn up by the end of the day! When I put Paige to bed last night I tweaked my back again, it kills again right now, but I'm wearing a heat patch, so hopefully it will start to help soon!

I go to see Dr. Richardson, an orthopedic doctor on Tuesday, so hopefully he will be able to do something to relieve my pain. This Thursday, Rod and I will be taking Paige to Peoria to see the urologist. I just hope they don't have to do anything painful to her!

Today is Peg & Stubby's wedding anniversary, so wish them congrats!
