"Back" to Work!

For those of you (the very few of you) who may be wondering how I'm doing now, I thought I'd just do a quick update.

I was still in pain most of the weekend, but I noticed it was a touch easier to get out of bed this morning. (The toughest time of day for me since I hurt my back.) I'm still in a bit of pain, but that was a very positive thing to be able to move just a little freer this morning! I'm still using the heat pack and will be taking ibuprofin every 4-6 hours. I stretched CONSTANTLY over the weekend! I even managed to get back on my (stationary) bike last night!! I haven't been able to do that, either, so it is good to be able to do that!

I don't think you truly appreciate your back (or your health in general) until it isn't working properly or is damaged...


Thanks for all your well-wishes!!!

And now it's back to the workweek grind....!!! ;)

Oh Tammy, I know how devastating this must be to you! (I have also had back problems -- I remember lying as still as possible alone in the hotel when visiting my daughter at music camp at Interlochen -- I missed 2 whole days because I literally couldn't move.) I'm glad it's getting better. You said it. i pray your healing continues and that you're physically and emootionally tip-top again in no time! ((((HUGS))))

That is good that your back is getting better.I found out the hard way that even if there is a storm day and I am off that I should not spend the day in bed since that leads to excruciating back pain.Now that I am older I notice it more than ever.
