Injury report

Well, I lied about no one being hurt. Kolt's toe was much better the next day and has been a non issue since. I however, managed to pull some intercostal muscles in my chest and at about 8 pm on Monday had an AWFUL time trying to breathe. It hurt so bad and I couldn't sleep all night. I got up at about 3am and stayed awake until 7 so Kolt could sleep. I took a loratab around 5am and managed to get some sleep.



Tuesday was worse. I could hardly breathe, couldn't cough or hiccup or sneeze. It was horrible, and then I was holding my body in such a way as to protect my injury that I strained my back and hurt it and my neck as well! A muscle relaxer did nothing but make me loopy and so at bed time I had to take 2 pheorocets and finally got some sleep. Wednesday I was finally starting to recover, enough that I braved my mom and dad's new treadmill! It hurt but I did it and was quite proud of myself.



Now it's Thursday and I am bout 80% better I would say. I have no idea how I did it, since it didn't hurt right away but it's got to be from skiing. Hopefully it doesn't happen again because I had so much fun!



I'm really glad that Kolt and I have FINALLY been able to find a hobby I think we're both truly going to enjoy. It's been a hard thing for us. He has a billion things he likes to do and I have reading, playing the piano, and volleyball. None of which he can participate in with me. This is something we can do TOGETHER and do for the rest of our lives! I'm so excited about that.



This summer we really want to get into camping and hiking and so I'm hoping that by running and XC Skiing I'll be in great shape this summer and ready to tackle whatever mountain we decide to climb. We've been very blessed to get all of this time to spend together and I don't want to waste it sitting around doing nothing!



We've been talking about planning a big trip this summer though I'm not sure where yet. We would both love to get into scuba diving, and so maybe we can get certified and take a trip to Belize or Fiji! We've been talking about it for years, but I couldn't get scuba certified while we were trying to get pregnant as it's not safe for the baby. Now that we know that's a non issue for a while, we can finally really get into some good hobbies and spend more time together :)



We'll be getting a little digital camera soon and when Kolt gets done with this week's work I think we're going up to visit his parents and go skiing with them in the Ashton area. It should be beautiful. I'm not sure I'm ready to ski infront of other people yet, it's rather embarrassing how clumsy I am. But I know his parents won't laugh at me...too hard anyways ;)

  3. I think you should plan a trip to Nebraska! I bet you could get Kolt to agree to that one... Otherwise you have to take me to Fiji too :)
