I went and had my injections done last Monday, February 13th. It went very well and I was told that I should get the full affect of the injections after 4-5 days. The same day I had them done I already felt an improvement! I had my first PT session on Wednesday and all they gave me as 'homework' was to do a yoga pose (cobra) every 2-3 hours. I'd say now my pain is about 85% gone. I feel so much better and I can move around a lot better. I can pick up my kids without any pain which is freaking AMAZING. My back still feels kind of tight but that's to be expected. I was told not to workout or run yet, it's too soon. I can't wait to be able to lace my shoes up and hit the pavement. I miss running so much. So so so so much. I go back this Wednesday for my second PT session and I'm hoping they give me the OK to do some low mileage runs or some weight lifting. We shall see.
So my friend Sam pointed out that in my last post I completely forgot to mention one of our traditions on race day! LOCKHART'S BBQ!!! We always go there for brunch after the Detroit Marathon. It's in Royal Oak and it's delicious. This year it was me, little baby A2, Maureen, Phil, Mom, Dad, Sam, Jason and their son, E. E was 5.5 years old (now 6, Happy belated birthday!) and he was totally into keeping baby A2 (16 months at the time) entertained. He was coloring with her and sharing his crayons. He kept talking to her and it was so stinkin' cute. The food was awesome, as usual. I typically get breakfast because breakfast is my favorite! I haven't registered for this years race yet because I'm waiting to see what happens with my back. I'll update after PT on Wednesday!
