Well, I just finished two full days at the office. That hasn’t happened in a while. My back is feeling a ton better and I’m almost totally pain free!!! I still have a little pain down my leg, but it is relatively minor. As I look back on when I’ve had back problems in the past, this is the pattern. I’m totally out of comission for 2-3 weeks and then I’m back to normal just like nothing happened. I’m hoping not to repeat the pattern. I go back to the doctor next week and I want to understand why this went away and what will make it come back. At times, I feel like avoiding surgery now is just postponing the inevitible.

Anyway, it is good to be back in the routine. I’m lacking a little stamina, but at least I’m back in the game. I have all day meetings the next 3 days so I guess I’ll have to keep it up.

Thanks for all your prayers. I need them!!
