What's been going on?!

So in the world of the Doman family I have good reasons why I had been slacking in my updates. It has been a busy month and it is even isn't half way through. I have been training for my next race in San Fran the weekend of the 21st. Me, my little sis. and two friends from up here are running the the Nike Women's Marathon we signed up back in the spring the the thing filled up on the first day. Must the the Tiffany's necklace they give you and the chocolate mile! I have been going out on the boat as much as possible. I have also started applying for jobs and hopefully will start working this fall to start paying for all our fun trips we have made over the last three weeks to the doctor and hospital.



It all started with Trent at church three weeks ago reaching for Pax and feeling like his back went out. He was just feeling worse so that night I called the doc and the doc called in all sorts of goodies to make the pain go away. Alas after two days of being so drugged up that Trent didn't even know what day it was we headed to the doctor on Tuesday only to have the poor man almost pass out in the waiting room because of the pain. I was talking with the nurse about the MRI when another man noticed Trent making a beeline from the chair to the floor. They took him back in a wheel chair and gave him a shot of an amazing drug called Toradal (I probably didn't spell it right but if you have had it you know what I am talking about) anyway didn't even phase the poor man.

We went and got the MRI and I walked upstairs while he was in the machine and ran into our doctor we joked about what an old man Trent was and how going and watching me work out at the gym did not consitute getting exercise. Then he said I thought there was something wrong with a disk in his lower back between the L5 and the S1 and he thought it was on a nerve and that was why he wanted the MRI. I walked back downstairs and they had called in a specialist to look at the MRI and of course they wouldn't tell me anything and said I would have to wait until my doctor talked to me. So the next day everything the doctor thought was confirmed and then some with poor little old man Trent's back. The disk was buldging and was causing some other problems. Trent has like everyone else degenerative disk disease except his has progressed further than it should have for someone his age. So the man was ordered to Physical Therapy 3-4 times a week. Thursday that same week was his first appointment and all went well.

Then the next morning came and Trent was up and hobbling around I was so proud when he started to pass out and then lost feeling in his arms and started getting sick. So back to the doctor we went. Everything checked out ok but they couldn't figure out what had happened or why except for his heart beating fast and being clammy. Two hours later Trent was feeling great and wanted me to take him to work, I was still scared out of my mind. I realized it was a losing battle trying to keep him out of the office and that it would only stress him out even more so I sat and baby sat him at work.

Since that day he has been doing great minus the whole back thing every so often bugging him which I think had something to do with him skipping his physical therapy. They called the house and he was busted! Needless to say he is back on track and going and sitting next to me with ice on his neck that he strained trying to show me up on the boat yesterday in wakeboarding. I can proudly say that I put the man to shame and I don't think he will try to compete against me again on the water.

So in a nutshell that is my excuse for the lack of blogging for a while and my goal is to keep this thing updated once a week and hopefully with happy news and fun pictures!
