This is the first morning I woke up not feeling completely defeated. I did wake up at 5:00 as Nathan was taking care of a fussy Andrew and took some pain medicine then. But I am a little less dizzy and in a lot less pain. I didn't have to hang onto every piece of furniture and wall to prevent myself falling over and it didn't take me five minutes to get out of bed as I winced in pain. That's progress!
I have to say there are some amazing people in this world and many of them are my friends! I think I feel so much better today because yesterday both boys were taken for play dates and I slept most of the day until about 2:30. Then I got up feeling okay enough to try to load the dishwasher with a few last dishes and get it started. That was okay. But then Andrew spilt a bowl of dried Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and thought it was funny to run back and forth through it so I had to sweep the floor. Then the weather was so nice yesterday that I wanted to get out. So when my friend brought Ben back with her kids, I had Nathan put out camping chairs for us and we sat outside and talked as we watched the kids run around. It was nice, but I was surprised how quickly I got tired. So then last night I was really tired and shaky. I tested the waters yesterday and did a little bit and then regretted it. So today, even though I am feeling better still, I guess I should take it easy.
But progress is being made, and I am grateful for that! I just cannot wait to get running again! I hope I am well enough by tomorrow because I want to go to the kids' Valentine's parties at school in the afternoon and then I am suppose to teach a cooking demonstration tomorrow night at church. We'll see.
Thank you all for your prayers!

I wish I lived closer to help out! You need to STOP pushing yourself lady. Rest, rest, rest. I know that word is rarely in your vocabulary. Get better, we're praying for you.
