Update on me

I have been so busy recently. I am so tired but right now I've got to type some of this out. First off, about 6 years ago before my family moved my sister and I tried to hit up some of theme parks in the area for one last hurrah before we headed up here to UT. One was Raging Waters.... San Dimas High School Football Rules! Ok... had to throw that in. It was a blast but on one of the slides it has two quick drops at the end and you really pick up speed. Of course my legs and feet were crossed as per their riding instructions. But as I came into the water my feet caught and went one way and the rest of my body another causing a great pain to shoot through my back.

Well I ignored it....and kept ignoring it....first pregnancy passed with lots of back pain thanks to an office type job... still ignoring it.... tried running/jogging..... ignored it...until the last couple months or so when its gotten really bad. Like worst ever. I have never had such horrible back pain. Well I ignored the really bad stuff and after about 2 or 3 weeks felt a little better but eventually it was back. I haven't ran in while thanks to it and its just sucked. Now I am not a chiropractor person. They kinda creep me out. The whole popping thing. I also thought they were kinda like quacks too. Like not a real doctor. Well, my mom was the same but she finally had listened to a friend and went in to Dr. Thompson (he just so happens to be in her ward now and Chloe is friends with his step son). She finally convinced me to call and can I just tell you that from that very first visit all the pressure I felt in my lower back and right sciatic was released. He told me I was pretty out of line and might be a little sore but seriously? The soreness from visit number 1 was nothing compared to what I was suffering through. I've had 3 visits now and another scheduled for Fri. I set myself back just a teeny tiny bit by helping my dad plant a garden all day Sat. but not bad. Just a little sore is all. I have to use bio freeze like stuff, moist heat, and drink a gallon of water every day (that is hard to do and all I ever drink is water!).

So I have another appt Fri and we'll see how that goes and it might only be once a week and then I should be about set. He is seriously the nicest guy ever and its always nice to have a dr that shares your religious views. I would so recommend him to anyone out here if they haven't seen him. I'm sure if I ever get preggo I'll be paying him a visit. Which leads me to my next thing.

Wed I have an appt with my ob/gyn. Well I should. I've tried calling his office but haven't heard from them. He recently left his contract with the local hospital so he's just in another bldg right across the street basically. I guess today is their first day up and running so hopefully I'll hear back from them soon. I'm still showing up if I don't because I am on a time crunch right now. I just ovulated last week. I had a positive test last Wed and Thurs. So far my luteal phase has been too short which doesn't help in the trying to get pregnant issue. So I only have so many more days to figure out if we can extend it. I don't know what he can do. I guess a progesterone shot which might suck. My mom said it made her pretty sick for a couple hours. I don't know though. If it doesn't work this time, the only thing that gives me hope is that my cycle lengths keep decreasing and are less and less each time so if I'm lucky I might ovulate in July. If not then most likely Aug. Ugh... its just so frustrating and I really wanna get in there and find out what he's gonna do. I just hope I'm not too late to pass this time up. I thought I'd be ovulating like next week or something. It came earlier than planned. So anyway, I just can't sleep. This is all that's running through my head right now. Luckily I have a lot to do to try and keep busy tomorrow. But man.... I need to let my mind rest and sleep!

So anyway, wish me luck. I'm just glad my back is getting better. 6 years is way too long to wait to fix a problem that bad. Right now I'm hoping for the best with my pregnancy situation. We'll see if I can get fixed quick enough!
