Update

These past fews weeks have been pretty interesting for sure. First of course, was the car accident on the 19th of February. I am feeling much better from that and most of my bruises are gone or a lovely shade of yellow. The only problem is that my right arm still hurts. It does feel like it's getting better but still hurts if I try to do anything like picking up heavy objects or pushing semi-heavy doors. So I went to see my doc and he wanted to do an MRI on my shoulder to make sure nothing is torn. So tomorrow morning at 11am I am going to get an MRI done. I will be glad to know if something is wrong or not so I can hopefully be done with all this stuff. I am deciding if I want to go to my chiropracter or not. My neck and back have been bothering me a little but I want to make sure nothing is going on with my arm before I let a chiropracter pop me and push on me. I don't want to exacerbate anything in my shoulder. I miss being able to pick up my nephew and hug him!

So after the accident and resting all weekend. Early Monday morning I woke up in horrible pain. I have felt the pain in the past when I had kidney stones. So I woke Steve up and told him I needed him to take me to the emergency room. He got up and got dressed and took me on a not bumpy route this time. It seemed like it took forever to get checked in but they were good about getting me some pain meds and an IV because I was really really dry. They did a CT scan because I was concerned that something else could be wrong since I was in a car accident just four days before that. It was just a kidney stone and was apparently getting ready to be passed. So I had yet another day off of work on Monday.

I took Wednesday off so that Steve and I could go get our new cars. We started at 8:30am and headed to the dealership to tell the guy that we wanted both vehicles that we had been looking at. We talked to him for awhile about trading my truck in and prices on the vehicles. They were reasonably priced to begin with but we wanted to see if he would come down a little in price so that we could afford them. At one point we had to walk away because he wasn't willing to come down on my truck. It was more than what I could really afford to pay and I thought we should get a good deal since we were buying two cars on one day. So we left and brought back the Focus that Steve wanted from our mechanic who was checking it out. When we got back, the dealer came out on the lot and talked to us a little more and was willing to meet me in the middle of our price difference. I was happy with what he proposed so we got the deals written up. I got a black '07 Ford Escape XLT and Steve got a silver '05 Ford Focus hatchback. They are both very nice vehicles and we are very happy with our choices.

Weight wise I have gained a few pounds back and was starting to get worried. However, when I weighed in this morning I had lost 4 lbs since last week. So that is a big plus. Once I get all this car accident stuff figured out, hopefully I can get back to working out. I don't want to risk further damanging myself right now.

Eric got an apartment in the town where he works. He has been living with us since we bought the house. It has worked out pretty well and provided us with some extra money to pay bills. But I think it is time that he wants to have his own space and we would like to have more privacy back. I am planning on using his room as a guest bedroom/craft room. It will be nice to have some space to do my craft projects and not shove them in the closet. It will open a lot of space downstairs as well and that will be nice. I think he will like being closer to work as well.

So that's what's been going on with me. Exciting right!
