Lots Going On 11/21-27/2008

Sorry we are so late in our Thanksgiving greeting but there was lots going on especially with Mom and her back. We went caching on Tuesday and came home and she was doing our logs and all of a sudden she said it felt like someone had stabbed her in the back with a knife and she has been in severe pain ever since. We called the doctor on Tuesday afternoon and he prescribed some medication but it didn't even touch the pain. She took some over the counter medication on Wednesday and it helped a little but later in the day she really started hurting again. I asked her if she wanted to go to the emergency room but she said no. She ended up waking me at about 4:30 and we were off to the emergency room. They didn't do an awful lot except prescribe Percoset for the pain. We drove home and she took a pill and went back to bed and slept for about 4 hours the first real sleep she has had in 2 days. The medication did help with the pain but didn't take it away completely. We had Thanksgiving dinner with Steve and Gina and I did all the cooking as she relaxed. She took 2 Percoset last night and went to bed and did get a fairly good nights sleep.
As I said we did go caching on Tuesday and had a great time. We found several caches in the woods, one at Lowe's Grocery, one in the parking lot of the Crab House Restaurant, one outside Nibil's Restaurant, another overlooking the marsh in Garden City and a couple in Surfside Beach. Other than that we haven't been doing an awful lot. We hung around the house on Saturday and Sunday and I watched football. Mom did go to the store on Sunday. Other than that we haven't done much.
We had a great Thanksgving as our deep fried turkey came out great and we had stuffing, mashed potatoes, squash and waldorf salad. Gina brought pecan pie, shrimp, cheese and crackers,some GREAT brownies and some great sausage balls. She really was a lot of help with the dishes after we ate and we would like to thank her. Mom also had made a chocolate pie and a pumpkin pie that was delicious. Well time to go for now but don't forget we love you all and miss you guys. Love Mom & Dad
