my back

[low_delta]

So my back's doing OK. It hasn't really improved much this week. I was supposed to walk 10 minutes, three times a day. I didn't. But friday I had to work physical inventory (second shift) and was on my feet for most of the eight hours. I think that wasn't good for it.

Also, someone sent me a get well gift of a Man Crate. It contained a personalized beer stein plus sausage, pretzels, sauerkraut and mustard. That was nice of them. No idea who, though. I had a bit of trouble opening the crate. Glue is hard to break with a small prybar. Fortunately, I didn't hurt my back.

:(

The man crate sounds good though.

I can't complain.

That's amazing you were able to be on your feet 8 hours without crippling pain. That's a WIN!!!

I guess the Man Crate people assume the recipient has a sledge hammer to open said crate ;^)

It included a very small and not very sharp prybar. I went to the basement and got a larger one, that was sharp enough to get in the cracks. I'm glad I didn't have to pound on it, as there was glass inside.

Are you still in pain? Somebody I know else who had more or less the same operation you had says that it took about 6 months to feel strong and totally pain free. It gets better little by little. She named her herniated disc Eugene. LOL

NICE get well gift!

No, not really any pain. The incision site is a bit tender.

6 months, huh? I guess as long as I can move around, I'll be in good shape, even if I can't lift that much. I need to start getting some exercise and lose some weight.

Just remember to take it easy & do what the doctor says. Must be a reason he has you walking 10 minutes 3 times a day.

Yeah, I know, it's just hard to find the time.

I remember saying that after my knee surgery. You have to make the time so when you have to be on your feet walking longer it won't be so tough on your back.

That is totally the thing. You have to find the time- priorities and all.

My wife hates the woman gift bags. Usually bath stuff.

[vocalista001.livejournal.com]

Yup.

I agree with Cyn. There're usually lotsa scents in the woman baskets.
