Appreciate Your Back

Russ hurt his back today.  Sometime between his walking Shay and my leaving to help host two Welcoming Events for Carter’s school, his back seized up.  Before Carter and I left the house he was still able to move, but was in obvious pain.  I thought it was OK for me to leave him home alone for seven hours, but maybe that was not the best plan.

Halfway through the second party Carter alerted me that Russ had called her and needed me.  I called him to find out that he was unable to get out of bed and needed someone to walk Shay.  I called my super hero dog walker Mary who came right up and took Shay, but Russ remained stuck in bed.

I finally got home at 9:30 and did what little I could do for my poor husband by giving him dinner and getting the back massage machine.  He still can’t get out of bed, but at least he is not starving.

Not being able to get out of bed is just down right horrible.  I feel very helpless to fix him.  I’m cutting my blogging short so I can try to figure out what I can do to help.  Seeing Russ in such pain makes my heart hurt and makes me appreciate my good back.
