After the insane xmas festivities I tried to get some work done during the day only to be called home to the wife who could not move. She was standing by Atticus' bed with tears in her eyes. She had excruciating pain shooting through her back and could not move. Apparently she had bent over to retrieve our 18 month old son's bottle from his crib (he can't go to sleep in his crib without a bottle). We took her to the emergency room and the doctor quickly diagnosed the problem as muscular not a slipped or herniated disc.
The doctor gave the wife some oxycodone and a prescrip for the same and a prescrip for muscle relaxers. We came home and the wife just had to take it easy so I did a lot of taking care of the kids and my parents and her parents helped out as well.
The wife went to her family doctor today and got his opinion- no reason for an MRI- the problem is most likely muscular and if she did have an MRI and they found something they would not do anyting anyway.
Thanks to the wife's still healing back our night consisted of putting the twins to bed (Lolo is at the in-laws) getting take out Mexican food and watching some TV. The wife has gone to bed and I will stay up to watch the arrival of the new year. We had planned to go out and ring in the new year with several other married couples but that will have to wait until next year.
