We decided to take our sweet Valentine out for her favorite meal in the entire world--a burger and shake. As we were gearing up to leave, poor BVZ's back and leg seized up (for those who may not have heard, BVZ is currently broken. After months of nagging back and leg pain, about a month ago it got unbearably bad and so he finally went to the doctor. Several visits, a specialist and an MRI later and we now know that he has a severely herniated disk. Last Thursday he got an epidural steroid shot in his spine, and we are waiting to see if it worked). As of this morning it appeared to not only NOT have worked, but actually seemed to be worse. I was set to scrap our burger and shake plan and go to the ER instead, but he insisted we still go. Problem is, he can't ride in the car for more than about 45 seconds, because it is so painful. I was not convinced as he could barely stand, let alone walk, but I was willing to give it a try. So, Norah and I drove to the restaurant and BVZ walked. It is probably 3 miles from our house.
Needless to say, Norah and I got there first. She looked longingly at the tall glasses the shakes came in and was not pleased when the waitress brought hers in a plastic cup with a lid. All was forgiven as soon as she tasted the sweet cherry vanilla goodness.
We then had an awesome lunch of sliders and sweet potato fries. BVZ joined us as we were finishing up and was happy to report that the walk stretched out his leg to the point where he no longer wanted to cry.
Happy Valentine's Day to all!

When I saw Norah's outfit - I just had to laugh because Eliza has the exact same outfit and she wore it today. Did you get yours at Costco? Honestly besides the resale shop that I go to - Costco is my favorite place to find clothes for Eliza.
Norah is just so freaking cute - I love all of that curly hair. Sounds like you guys had a fun day - hope BVZ's back is better soon.
Happy Valentine's Day to the GVZ's. I hope BVZ feels better soon.
Poor BVZ.
Poor JG.
I'm not sure what is worst-being in pain yourself or having a husband in pain. :)
Hope he finds a way to manage it.
3 miles??
