Everyone is falling apart

So, I finally heard from our 2ND opinion doctor for Cooper and Carson and it looks like we will be making a trip to UW Children's hospital in Madison. No big deal, it's 2 hours one way to Children's hospital of Wisconsin, and 2 hours the other way to UW Children's. We were told the reason for having to go to Madison instead of seeing him here, is that he wants to run some tests and is only able to do it in his clinic. So we'll see what that brings. We'll go there in early December.

My dear hubby has been having a ton of back pain the past few months and finally the doc sent him in for an MRI. The pain he's been dealing with - a bulging disk and an inflamed nerve. He has had one epidural already and hopes that there won't be a need for any more.

I have been having some pretty intense neck and upper back pain lately. Matt finally talked me into going to see the chiropractor (who is a friend of mine) to see if he could help. After a few adjustments things have been feeling so so. So, I decided to go see our normal doc for the neck issue and a finger issue. For my neck, he told me it's totally stress related (gee, I wonder why that is????) and he put me on Valium!! It's some good S**T! Except, I don't find it working so well. I must admit, I do sleep a ton better though. And for my finger.........I have trigger finger and there is nothing that can be done by him, so I am off to see the hand surgeon. This will be my 3rd surgery by this guy. I'm sure he is tired of seeing me!
So, that's the poop scoop on the Cole family. Isn't it just a barrel of fun? Hopefully the next post will be a tad bit more exciting.
