Oh, My Aching Back

What I didn't relay in the Houston post is that the first day we were there, the very first box I moved, I felt something in my back move and heard it go Pop, Pop; hmmmm not good sounds - oh yeah, and now pain. Well, I didn't let that stop me from helping. I even didn't tell Patti so that her head would not explode. So today, I go to the doctor and she sent me to a Physical Therapist who also saw me today. Apparently, my Sacrum and L5 are not where they are supposed to be - story of my life. So, he worked on my back and got me an additional 45 degrees of movement, so even tho it still hurts, it's at least a little bit more mobile. No working out this week, no sitting, standing, walking or lying down for long periods at a time. The plane ride back was excrutiating, but I'm feeling better after the PT. I'm looking forward to not being in pain.

I was so sorry to hear about your back - what's the update? I'm surprised at your Sacrum and L5 being anywhere that you did not specifically clear them to be. Don't they know who you are!? Helloooo!?
