Hi ladies!! Well, I have a bulging disc that is almost compromising my spinal column. I think that's the correct terninology. Where's Wilma when I need her?

Anywho, I don't have any weakness in my legs or feet or any er...um...bathroom problems (I have no idea how a bulging disc could cause problems in the urinary arena!!) so that's good. If I did I would have to go in for emergency surgery. And if I have any of those I'm supposed to go straight to the emergency room!

So, I'm up for a round of 3 steroid injections and physical therapy. I am pretty happy about this, because I didn't want to have surgery and this could stop the pain. But, if the bulging doesn't go down with the shots than I will be looking at surgery. So, my question for all you mommies out there is who had an epidural and how much did it hurt? Cuz that's what these shots are supposed to feel like, and I'm not really looking forward to someone sticking a needle in my spine!
Judi~I remember when I felt the same way Cole does about tampons! I just remember telling my mom you want me to put that where??? No way!
Tricia~I can't stay up for the Olympics either! I've been recording them and watching them when I get home from work. It's kinda nice, I can skip all the commercials and anything I don't want to watch. But, I always end up hearing what happened before I get to watch it cuz it's all over the news and the internet. Hooray for the girl gymnasts-Gold and Silver is awesome!!
Bex~hope you have fun camping! Is Michael Phelps inspiring Brendan? I think little swimmers everywhere are probably watching his every move and planning on how they can be the next swimming superstar! Misty May and Kerri Walsh are my heroes.

They are awesome-I wish I could have them for personal trainers!!
Shannon~yes we expect you to make us laugh at least every other post, or we may issue you penalty points.

You can't save all the good stuff for the pie hole! Skateboarding, huh? I hope you're going to put him in full body armor!
Bonnie~what movie are you going to see and where are you eating? We never go anywhere anymore so I need to live vicariously through you! I know your hair will look fabulous! Hope you have a great time!
