I'm back. I thought maybe I'd be a one-hit wonder on the "blogging" thing but it turns out it may go the way of my middle school diary instead: two entries followed by an 8-month gap. The difference this time around is a bone stimulating device I'm supposed to use twice a day for 20 minutes at a time. It cost me $240 (insurance paid over $2000!), so if I cost-per-use the thing, I'm aiming to use it at least 120 times. Less than $2 per treatment seems justifiable, especially if I utilize the downtime to a) consume a homemade cup of tea over Starbucks, b) learn to speak French via my new Babbel subscription, and c) get over this stress fracture. I'm at treatment #28 right now. And no, I'm not tallying myself ... the machine tells you what treatment number you are on when you first power up. And then it counts down from 20 minutes. Those are the only two readings you'll ever get from it, which seems lackluster considering the price tag.
Uh oh. Treatment 28 is over and the girls are both up from naps. Time for snack (or what is more accurately described as the 4th meal of the day involving planning, prep, serving, enduring, and clean-up. Feeding 3 kids under 5 is a lot of work).
