This week was a bit of a rough week. While traveling, Jason injured his back and became unable to walk or sit without severe pain. This injury was probably a re-herination of his L5-S1 disc, which had partially herniated during our hiking trip this summer. He said this time it was much worse however, and desperately needed help to get home.
So, I headed to Denver from work on Thursday and began the process of planning how to extract him from the airport hotel he was staying at. We were able to book 2 seats each on the plane home--so he could have 3 of them to lie down for the flight. And we booked a wheel chair from the hotel to the gate. Only thing was, he could not sit in it. But he did figure out a way: kneeling backwards!
The flight attendants were cool on the flight and even let him stay layaing down for take off and landing.
Once we got to SF, I got his car and deove him home while he was laying in the backseat.
This all made this weekend, one of the last before chirstmas, a bitr chaotic for me, as he was unable to do ANYTHING. I did my best to continue to get the work done, including baking a bunch of Christmas cookies, buying presents, wrapping presents, and generally keeping things organzied. Luckily, Alaina was a good helper, and due to the fact that we had a huge raistorm, softball was cancelled, as was one of her basketball games due to a power outage.
