Life Update

Last week Garth hurt his back BAD. He couldn't sleep at night he was in so much pain. He couldn't bend over. He couldn't run. The only relief he had was from Icy Hot patches on his back. But even then, driving was a chore. Sitting at a desk was torture. This entire weekend he spent in his chair. He even slept in his chair because that was only place he found comfort.

So I had the bed to myself, which I wasn't thrilled about. I didn't want to be that couple that didn't share a bed! But I didn't want him to suffer, that's for sure. Garth said when he woke up the next morning I was spralled in the middle of the bed taking up every inch of our queen sized bed. I guess I like having the bed to myself afterall.

Garth finally went to the doctor yesterday becuase it was just not getting better and I was getting worried it was something serious. The diagnosis? He overdid it. Running four times a week was a shock to the system and led to the back pain. The doctor suggested muscle relaxers and new tennis shoes. I guess he will be using his Foot Locker gift card this week! The good news is that resting it was good, but the doctor gave him the green light to run again this week. He could not be more thrilled to get out and run in shorts for the first time this year.

In other news, I woke up with the worst migraine of my life on Sunday. With Garth's hurt back and my migraine we were a sad sight. I had one of those migraines that it just hurt to move. I wouldstart crying I was in so much pain. Garth made me take Tylenol which I try to avoid taking at all costs. And felt a million times better! I don't know why I fought it for so long.

We are both feeling better though and ready for a productive, healthy week! I ran two miles with Garth yesterday and didn't feel like I was going to die. That is progress for sure. And I feel amazing and can't wait to run again tonight.
