Another beautiful day. Yesterday i spent studying and only made it around the block with Buddy. Today is the last class of the program I started in June for Medical Coding and Billing. Now i'm not even sure i can work!!

My whole back does feel pretty miserable until an hour after i take percocet in the morning. so i am sitting waiting for it to kick in so i can get in the shower. I still use a shower chair too so i really need to get in it!

I was reading something and it reminded me that although i had 2 offending thoracic disks and they were removed, it took about 3 or 4 months before the pain left. I had the same darn pain after surgery that i had before. It just gradually disappeared. So i still have a good 2 more months of healing here.

I have to start researching what it feels like when your whole spine is pretty much fused. My whole back hurting when i get up might just be a life long thing. I'm not ready to replace the mattress yet!
Better go
Have a great day you two.
