:: Did You Miss Me? ::
I know I haven’t been around the last few days, but sometime real life just gets in the way - LOL! We finally got our pool up and running, and after spending more money on chemicals, I am glad to report that it is crystal clear! So Jordan and I spent a lot of the time this past weekend playing in the pool. It was in the mid-90’s here, so the water was nice and warm! It’s been cloudy and dreary the last couple of days, so the water’s cooled back down again.
I was also busy keeping with the Buy the Store sale I had going on. It was a big hit, and I sold all 25 spots within a couple of days. I hope all of you that were able to take advantage of the offer had a great time shopping!
I finally got the results of my MRI back. Apparently I have two bulging discs in my neck, and there is something going on with my lower back as well. My doctor has referred me to a spine specialist, and I have to see him first thing in the morning. I have no intention on having surgery, so I hope there’s some sort of medication that can help.
I also have some items that are new at Studio Traci at Scrapbookgraphics.
I also got a layout done with my Little Man items. This is my nephew, and he is such a silly little man! 
Well, I guess that’s about it for today. I’ll let you guys know what the specialist says tomorrow after my appointment. Until then, have a great day!

Hi Traci - I have two bulging disks in my lower back in my L5/L6 area - they refused to believe that @ 20 years old that I could have done the damage to my back. And it actually happened when I was in labor and delivered my first daughter.
I refused to have surgery because I had just had a baby, and 6 weeks of not being able to help and hold her wasn’t ok. After the MRI it was shown I had bulging disks that actually instead of going and bulging to the front like most, mine bulged to the side, which wasn’t good. So I had to go through therapy..it actually made it worse. So I went to a chiropractor and that helped temporarily. And any shoes with heels for some reason helped.
Finally I went to a pain management specialist, and he gave me 3 cortizone injections into my back. And they’ve really helped with the pain, and I am not on pain pills all the time. I still have some pain,a nd the disks did hit some nerves, but no damage. I use a heating bad when my back gets bad, but thats about it.

I love the shades of love paper! The LO is just too cute.
On my blog, I have a LO with my son Cody on his first job. It was made with the “Little Man” kit.
I hope your back gets better!
