Living with a Star Trooper and back pain

Well, Don's back is healing. He is off his pain medicine and now he is wearing a back brace that makes him look like one of the star troopers off Star Wars. It's big, it's bulky, and he hopes to be out of it by the time he goes to his next doctor's appointment next week. While Don was healing I thought it would be a good idea to shovel some snow in the front yard. (Apparently I didn't remember that I was 9 months pregnant. Hmmmm.) Well I didn't get very far when I doubled over in intense pain. One trip the the hospital later that evening showed I had a very bad bladder infection causing contractions and back pain. I was given some antibiotics and after a second trip to the hospital yesterday to stop more contractions I was reassured that everything looks fine. I'm not in actual labor - DANG IT! :) Oh well, my back is feeling a lot better this afternoon and I am reassured that I will get better soon.
