Superbowl Sunday

I woke up to quite a bit of pain. Unfortunately, it made me so uncomfortable that I had trouble walking. I wanted to go to church, but Mom talked me into staying home. In the end, I agreed with her. My pain was too much for being out of bed for too long. I tried walking a few laps around the house, and then went back to bed. I ended up sleeping until almost 2. Still having the pain, I had to take some medicine and walk some more. Thankfully, the pain subsided long enough for me to take a shower and relax for a little bit. Amber and Aaron had invited me to their superbowl party, and I was feeling well enough to go for a while. Mom and Dad needed to run some errands in Cape, so they dropped me off at the Fortner residence for some superbowl fun. We watched the game, the commercials, and got a tour of their newly fixed up house. They are such an incredible couple...definitely a marriage founded in Christ. I love both of them dearly. It was great to meet some of their friends that I had never seen before. One girl told me that her cousin had the same surgery I had, even at the same hospital! I wonder if she had Dr. Bridwell, too. Small world, huh? She said that her cousin is leading a totally normal life, has had a child without any back problems, and is actually pregnant with her second. That reassured me that I will eventually return to my old self. She was very nice and we talked for a bit. Nathaniel came over after halftime and got to meet everyone. We ended up talking through the last half of the game and missing most of the commercials, but that's okay. I'm sure I can look them up online tomorrow (or watch them repeatedly on TV for the next few months). The Packers won, true to Wilson's prediction. Actually, he said that either the Packers or Steelers would win. I need him to buy me a powerball ticket...Haha :) It was a great night, with meeting new people and hanging out with Amber. That Nathaniel kid is pretty cool too I guess... :p He was nice enough to give me a ride home since I didn't want to make Mom and Dad drive all the way into Cape just to get me. It's times like these when not being able to drive sets me back, but that's alright. I'll make due. :) I made it home safely despite the wet roads. Mom and I watched some Toddlers and Tiaras and now I'm ready for bed. Yay for sleep! :)
