Back Update

Things keep moving along with the back. I am still taking 2-4 Norco pain pills a day (24 day), but I am able to do more without paying the price for the next few days. On Saturday I hanged a few curtain holders so now Tania has no excuse for not getting the curtains done. I was a more sore than normal that night but Sunday back to the usual pain level so I decided "what the heck" I might as well push my luck and see what else I could get away with so I did some gardening. Moved some plants around and did some weeding. Again, my back was sore afterwards so I didn't do anything but lay on the couch and watched the Laker game the second half of the day. Come Morning morning - I woke up at 4:30 in pain and couldn't get back to sleep. I took a muscle relaxer and went upstairs on the couch so I wouldn't wake Tania. This may sound bad, but it is actually what happens most mornings. By the time it was time to go to work... hurray!! The pain level was no worse than normal. What is life coming to? I am actually happy that I can do more chores around the house.
