Time to Think

    We're trying to figure out what to do.  My head keeps going back and forth with a thousand different scenarios.  Family and friends have been helpful and I love you for that.
    At the end of the day, I think that the logical thing to do is to get the back surgery...I just don't want to.  I want to give it a little more time to see if it will get any better on its own.  I also don't want to have anymore damage done though.  Kind of a catch 22. 
    Adam came home from work on Friday and started packing the car.  We headed to my mom and dad's who live on a lake.  He hoped that the fresh air would help to clear our thoughts.  It was nice to be outside and forget about the real world that sits and stares at us. 
    It was the first time our kids and puppy were able to enjoy the lake this year.  Lilly's never been in the water, so it was fun to see her play.

   It was nice to take in the simplicity.  To do nothing but spend time together and enjoy the day.  I don't want to miss a minute of it which is why this decision is so tough.  If it were based on something that had no other option for example, appendicitis, or a broken bone...the answer would be a non-issue...you get the surgery. 
    This is something I have to decide on though - and I'm the worst at making decisions. 
     I think that Adam and I will go back together to talk with the doctor.  I can't help but imagine that would clear things up a bit. 
     Thank you to our family and friends for your words of wisdom and comfort.  Life wouldn't be the same without you.

I read your blogs about the back pain and the surgeons recommendations. I am so sorry--there is nothing worse than being in pain! I have a six year old, only one compared to your four, and I cannot imagine having to make that decision. Ive had a couple surgeries since my daughter was born but they only put me out for at maximum a week--so it wasn't too too bad. Did they say how long the healing process is? Or how long until you are up and at em' again? I will pray for you! Hey--I always say to myself, I birthed a human being, I can get through this!! :) Best of luck. xo Ashley

So sorry. It is a hard to decide . I have one hip replaced and it is great going for the second one in July. I think the back takes longer to heal but they know so much more now. Prayers that all turns out. Well for you.

Forgot to mention, had a ruptured disc and 2 pinched nerves in my middle, upper back in 1984 they wanted me to call a surgeon, went to chiropractor instead. Went 3 times a week for a year but he brought me out of it with no surgery. Make sure ti investigate and get a good one.
