A Broken Back


Unfortunately, I cannot sue Chloe.  I already get to kiss the cuteness outta her, that's all she has to give.

I have a broken back.  Well, more specifically, I have spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and a herniated disc that sits on touchy nerves.  It really gets on my nerves *hyuck hyuck*  I kill myself.

And when I go to see the doctor, like every other month, I get the same lecture (while Chloe is bouncing on my lap, ironically):

Dr.:  You really need to stop picking up heavy things, like babies.
Me: *Blank stare*
Chloe: *Drooling* *Bouncing*
Dr.: Try to stay down for a few days.
Me: *Blank stare*
Chloe: *Bouncing* * Squealing* *Gaining another pound*
Dr.: Ice and heat.  But most importantly rest.
Me: *Blank stare*
Chloe: *Jumps off my lap, crawls under the table, starts pulling out plugs.*

I mean, are doctors blind?  What he should have said was, "I see you have a Wiley 28 pound, 15 month old baby.  Let me admit you to the hospital with a regular morphine and steroid drip.  All the cable and hospital food you want.  No visitors.  Three days."

Boom.

Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!!

And honestly, I don't think it should take 8 years of medical school to get to that conclusion.

Medrol, Vicodin and Flexoril are this weeks best friend.

That is shat.
Seriously.
I am so sorry friend.
Are they going to do anything???
I'd say welcome to the crip club since I'm president chairman and CEO but I don't want you in it...not because you're not cool enough but because it sucks.
Xoxo

Oh! You poor thing! And that's a little ridiculous telling a mother of a 15 month old baby to not pick up her baby. Okay...it may be good advice from a medical stand point...but really? Is it possible?

Neff Family said...

I know, right! And he actually was showing me how to pick things up by bending at the knees. Oy. Some doctors. He must have thought I was really retarded. Feelings mutual, doc, the feeling is mutual.
