Just got back from the spine doc in Charlotte. Ironically, the major pain I have now is sitting. Of course I had to sit in the car for two hours on the way there, in the office, on the way back...
But, good news!I am green to go on getting strong again, going to the gym, hiking, in short doing reasonable things and what, basically, doesn't hurt. The degenerative disc disease I can't get rid of, but getting strong will be the best thing for it. And the disc rupture and pinched nerve are healing up nicely. So, I'm back to the gym early tomorrow morning.
YAY! I can start thinking about trips and plans again!
