Independence From Back Pain Day

I had a really nice weekend--the weather was warm and dry and sunny, the fireworks were spectacular, the food was yummy. Today I am having a microdisectomy. It's kind of a long story, and I'm kind of tired of telling it. It involves a trip to the emergency room, a last-minute change of MRI location, a herniated disk that made everyone's eyes bulge right out of their heads, and a lot of support from the HR department at my new job. I'll be recovering at home for about a week so I'll have plenty of time to write all about it.

If anyone reads this today, feel free to send me some positive vibes.
