One day before vaca?


Last night I worked till 10:30 and this morning I was up at 5:00 to bring J to work.  I have been working a lot of hours lately and I am definitely feeling worn down.  B's next tuition payment is due in two weeks and I am falling behind on my bills. However, nothing inspires me more then to hear B tell me he is thinking about pre-med. 

My sciatic nerve has been preventing me from running and riding my bike.  I am very frustrated by this limitation and I have an appointment with a neurosurgeon in a couple of weeks.  I had an x-ray done that came back negative so I went to PT for 6 weeks.  When that failed to remedy the problem, I had an MRI done that came back showing a "floater" in or near my spine.  So now I may need back surgery which I am loathe to do.

omg... They recommended back surgery for me several years ago. I decided to wait until I can't stand it any longer to do that. The success rate isn't the best.

Good luck with your back and have a good vacation.

I've been contemplating a similar surgery: for my right knee. With all the advantages/disadvantages, I wonder if it's worth it to have surgery. If ain't too broke, why fix it?

Wow, pre-med. Go, B. I hope he stays focused!
