The one with a day at the hospital.

Jose has been having back pain for months now, and hasn't had the time, insurance, or desire to go see a doctor. And I can't really blame him, even though he has insurance now and he should have gone, I hate the doctor and avoid it as much as possible too. 

At work today he turned wrong and his back locked and he just couldn't move. He was in so much pain and basically was dragged to his car to wait for me to come get him and take him to the ER. 

We went in and they did tests and X-rays and luckily didn't find anything. His spine is fine, no kidney stones, nothing. They say he must have just pulled a muscle. Which seems weird to me because his pain has only gotten progressively worse over the past few months, but then again he never takes it easy so it makes sense. 

We were there for a few hours and then got to come home with pain medicine and a physical therapist referral. He just needs to see them for a bit to keep the pain to a minimum. 

This was when we were waiting for X-rays. 

Luca did pretty well but was super tired so he lost it at the end, I ended up putting him in his carseat and pushing it around on the rolling chair so he would give in and nap. 

In the car on the way home he woke up, but not on purpose and had a very hard time deciding if he still wanted to be asleep or not. You can see the frustration in his face in this picture. 

And my beautiful new phone. :)

Then, because after all ER trips when you are supposed to relax, and not go to the one restaurant that you serve yourself at, we went to chuck a rama. Luca did really well here. He happily sat in his chair, and then ate and then sat on the table with us, and had his first sip of water through a straw. He liked it a lot. The entire drop I let him have. Really I think he just likes sucking on the straw. 

Jose doing just fine, and now has some time off work, which will be lovely. He needs some rest and he will be back on his feet in no time.
