Just Saying...

Who am I? I'm in my mid 20's. I suffer from daily pain from an injury that created massive instability in my Lumbar (lower) spine.

I've been told that I have anything from a simple Pars Defect, to herniated discs, a slipped disc etc.

I have a husband- we've been married since 2009 I have 2 kids (circa 2011 and 2014)

I love sewing, history, rugby, and Doctor Who.

I used to work- I was planning on becoming a stay at home mom, start running and do parks and fun stuff with my kids. I now let them watch way to much tv. If naps get hard I take my kids for a car ride and worry about how narcotics and pain will prevent me from raising my kids.

I'm a shell of my former self. I used to play soccer and rugby in high school. In college I loved hiking and wandering Atlanta. Going from super active and busy to basically a potato (as my husband calls me) is emotionally draining. It sucks. So I need imaginary friends to talk to. Because pain hurts, being a parent is hard, and being a parent in constant pain sucks more. All the money in the world can't give me back the time with my kids. All the therapy in the world won't help my kids cope with my disability. And im hoping all the love I can give will fill the gaps that my pain is causing them.
