Recovery, Part II

I have not fully recovered, but I am recovering. It's a slow process.

I went back to the neurosurgeon on Wednesday after my MRIs, and he said I have a bulging disk in my lower back. He is going to try conservative treatment... Celebrex, nerve blocks, and physical therapy. We're holding off on the nerve blocks until my next appointment with the doctor in December. I went Thursday for my first PT appointment. I have 8 more PT sessions, and I have to do exercises on my own. Fun!


Leyden thought that PT would be like a workout at "The Biggest Loser" gym. Ha! Thank goodness it's not that kind of workout! The PT does make me sore, as is expected, and except for when I do a push up-type exercise, I don't really get tired. Hey, maybe I'll develop some muscle!
