Walk

Today was cold and very foggy. In fact there was a two hour school delay for Wil this morning. After lunch we bundled up and took a little walk around the block. The fog had lifted slightly by then but it was still quite cold. I know I'll have to get the baby some mittens if we plan on doing this again.

We went with my husband who is currently off work with a back injury. It's a bulging disk that was due to a car accident with a city school bus. (The bus driver was at fault.) The county tends to work at a snail's pace and we are still waiting for him to see the specialist. The appointment for that was set up for next week. Meanwhile his regular worker's comp doctor said walking as much as he could stand would be good for him so we tried a short walk around the block to see how it went. The funny thing is, he can feel some pain in his back, but because of how the injury is, the nerve is affecting his lower leg around his calf. He has terrible neuralgia in that area.

The walk went fine, though he said he doubted he could have gone much further.

I took some video of when I went out to feed this morning so you'll be able to see how foggy it was, and how crazy Clyde is. He loves to run! I'm still trying to figure out if I can connect everything so it's one video. Otherwise I'll put it up tomorrow.

Til then!

My husband is having issues also with his back, he has a bulge at s1, we have done injections and physical therapy and now are looking at surgery. How is your husband doing, major pain? Where is the bulge? Just really curious as I have no one to talk to this about.
