12/16/2010 To the Doctor He Goes

Bob’s back is no better and he’s really hurting. He had a follow up appointment with the doctor scheduled for today anyway so while he was there he brought up this intense pain he is experiencing.

He told the doctor what he was doing when it happened and the doctor poked and prodded and told Bob that at this point he thought it was a sprain and that it would take 7 – 10 days for him to start feeling himself again. However, if he still felt this way on day eleven to get back in to see him and x-rays would be done. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that it doesn’t go that far.

The worst part of all of this is that Bob can’t do anything and if you are a longtime reader here you know Bob can’t sit still, he always has to be doing something. He’s driving me nuts!

Even though this is our fourth Christmas away from Delaware, where the average daytime temp is in the high 30’s to low 40’s this time of year, we still aren’t used to it being THIS warm. We are reaching 80 degrees now, people are laying out at the pool, people are swimming, everyone is in shorts, we’re sleeping with windows open for heaven's sake. At the same time Christmas is in the forefront and I’m watching White Christmas on television and I know there isn’t a snowballs chance of a white anything here. And after four years its still strange. Will we ever get used to this? I don’t know but we’ll give er’ hell trying!

As you can tell, I am catching up on blog reading. After reading about Bob's back, guess I should be more current with my reading or maybe a phone call from my bff would be nice. Praying Bob is feeling much better.
