Now that I’ve gotten my official "get well" card from my buddy Gavin, with a little help from his mommy, it’s no longer necessary to sympathize with yours truly.
I promise that I won’t be running without the use of my walking stick, Gavin.
Officially, I have a herniated disk that is pressing on the nerves to my right leg. At the moment, the doctor feels that the problem can be remedied through physical therapy, but I can have surgery at any time if I feel the therapy isn’t helping. (That will probably take some real convincing.)
Every body is different but the p.t. and just lying on the floor for as many hours a day as I could stand to pretty much cured my disc problem 12 years ago. All the best as you heal. Its a sucky injury.
ouchouchouchouchouch! may your mending be swift and your stick consigned to kindling.
