As some of you may have noticed Liz & I have not been around much this last week. Liz's back pain became REALLY intense this past weekend. We spent several days and nights going back and forth to Urgent Care and the Emergency Room to try to get her pain under control. On Thursday she was admitted to Kaiser Hospital in San Diego. They only way we could keep her pain in check was with a morphine drip. She was discharged Sunday because she was feeling better but the pain returned with a vengeance Monday morning.

Liz was admitted again on Monday to try to manage her pain. Sometime this week she will undergo surgery to fuse the L4, L5 and S1 vertebrae together. They also need to repair a ruptured disc between the L3 and L4 vertebrae. We knew this surgery was coming but did not expect the pain to come on as strongly or as suddenly as it did.

I just wanted to let everyone know what was going on. It is going to be a very long time before Liz can be with us to crank out a WOD. Please keep her in your thoughts as I know you will be in hers.

Thanks!

Liz and Mike,

I am sorry to hear that she is hurting that bad.... I am sure all will go well with her surgery.
Wishing her a speedy recovery.....So she can get her tail back in the gym!;P
Give her Marrisa and my best.

[Christine]

Mike, so sorry to hear that Liz has been in so much pain. Just wanted to share with you both that my father just had similar surgery 5 weeks ago. He had L3 L4 and L5 fused, with another procedure to correct some nerve canal stenosis. He was amazed at how much better he felt! The recovery will be a long process, but he was in agony before. Says it is sooo worth it. My thoughts and prayeers are with you both.

[Minnie]

Mike, please tell Liz I am thinking of her and wish her a speedy recovery, and freedom from pain. I will miss her at the gym. Someone else will have to fill in to make up for the loss of humor in her absence. Is there anything you guys need?

[Kat]

Hey 'Screamer' & Mike S.!! Sounds wrong to say, but I'm so glad she is an in-patient now and will get this show on the road!! It has taken much too long to get to this place--but we've had that discussion before!! I hope the surgery is soon and goes very smoothly! Our thoughts and prayers are always with you! Please let us know how things are going and what we can do for you!!

Mike and Liz, positive energy is coming your way from Ange and I up north. Best of luck.

Jordan, how did you superimpose a picture of yourself over another picture of yourself? You look buff in the background one, nice.

can't really say it was an end of zone challenge for me, because I've been eating like shit, not working out consistantly AT ALL, so, I guess it is what it is.

Court, I have decided you are a cyborg. Amazing lifting today, girl.

Minnie, your still a bad ass, I'm sure everyone in here wishes they could be a strong as you.JC, you totally had that SP, you better do it next time. Thanks Everyone, and best of luck to LIZ, pain free is a much better option.

Mike,
Thanks for letting us know about Liz. I've been wondering how she was doing.

Can you email me your mailing address?
michelegsmith@ca.rr.com

Thanks,
Michele

[Jordan]

Liz,
Some people get into training others for the fun of it. Some people get into training others for the money. People like you are the reason that I train. Hard headed, tough skinned, challenging, and just all around good people. Hurry up and get better girl, cause you aint ever gettin rid of me. The road to recovery starts now. See you soon.

[Nick]

Get better soon Liz, we'll miss you.

I'll have to make up my total later this week. No zone challenge for me but so we'll see how my non-zone challenge goes. Congrats to everyone, looks like a few PR's on the board. Great Job.

Great job on the deads Dustin. It's always cool to watch someone pull 400.

[Paula]

Great Job today all. Some Amazing PR's too!!

Liz...

We all love you and wish for a safe surgery and speedy recovery. You are an amazing person, a hard worker, a FANTASTIC cupcake maker (I still can't wait to taste your zone pie treats) and a treasured part of the CFO family. You'll be back before you know it.

Mike...

Please keep us all posted of Liz's progress! And let me know if there is anything you guys need from us. I expect text messages just as fun and lengthy as Liz's. :-) Take great care of our girl!

I'm happy with these numbers. Our last total is when I blew my hamstrings--3 months ago! I'm healing--so I'm happy!! Thank you ladies for the encouragement!! Casey and Jordan a big thank you for your coaching and encouragement!! Thanks to everyone for welcoming Jane to CFO--she LOVES our gym!! She will be back next week for some Thanksgiving week WODs.
Have I mentioned lately--I LOVE CrossFit!! Miss my man being in the gym with us though!!

[The O.C.]

Ok Liz, as Mike said, help is on the way! This will be good! Recovery may be slow, arduous and maybe even painful at times but it will be recovery nonetheless, not pain management! You hang in the woman! Bounce back and get your funny ass back in the box asap!!! Ha!! You are in our thoughts and prayers! I agree with Paula, your cupcakes kick arse!

To all for today's efforts...man, like Nate said, everyone was killin it! Except me really. I had a great idea of doing Angie today with 400m in-between each exercise, then thinking I could still do a total. Uhh..no! I couldn't even lift my DL PR off the ground. So, I will re-engage at a later date in a day or two.

Great class 5 1/2ers!! Very well done!! Lea and Maria, great work over there on Casey's Baby Angie.

New CFOers, hope you all learned a lot in the cage with The Man! See you all next time.

Jane, Mike and Melonie, great to meet you all!! Hope to see again.
