Worth His Weight in Gold

I did something really dumb this weekend.  I was sitting on my bedroom floor talking on the phone to my sister.  Shouldn't cause a problem, right?  Wrong!  For some reason, when I went to stand up, I felt searing pain in the left side of my low back.  I couldn't lift my left leg and could barely walk.  (Am I really getting that old?)

It's a good thing I know a chiropractor.  We took a little trip down to the office after nap time.  Scott had to carry me into the office because it would've taken me a good 20 minutes to walk down the hall.  After an adjustment, fast stretch massage, TENS, and a hot pack, I felt a little better.  I was able to actually walk back to the car.  Scott took over most of the nightly responsibilities that evening as I hobbled around and tried to help.  Amazingly, as the night progressed, my pain started to abate and walking became easier.  By morning I was 100% back to myself.  

This weekend reaffirmed to me the importance of Scott's occupation.  I can't not walk.  I have a family to take care of.  I would've paid about anything to be fixed.  Luckily I only had to pay in kisses.  But, that husband of mine is certainly worth his weight in gold.
