Our summer, so far

Yay, I can finally sit in a chair in front of the computer and not be in pain.  Thank you, Dr. Kaipo Pavao for helping with my pinched nerve without surgery.  I'm very relieved that I've recovered from this.  My worst nightmare was realized when I found that I was unable to care for Javy.  When it first happened, I had chronic pain for a couple of weeks before I had had any relief.  I couldn't pick Javy up.  I couldn't sleep so my patience was very, very low.  It was like a little glimpse into something I don't want to even think about-being unable to take care of my own son, because of my own health issues.  I know, Javy is going to grow bigger and I'll eventually be unable to pick him up without assistance, but having my own body limit me in what I can and can't do, is unnerving.  So in a way, it's a blessing, because I'm going to take measures to take better care of myself.  Also, I want to set up a trust fund to ensure Javy is taken care of in the future.

Javy is in summer school, it's only about a month, but he seems to be enjoying it.  I'm going to meet the teacher today.  It's the first time I've had the chance to do so, because I've been fortunate enough to have Saturday/Sunday off for the last month.  Aaron found a nice light weight wheelchair that Javy fits perfectly in.  It can go off road, too.
