Michelle,

Though your circumstances still aren't optimal for your own well being, it appears that you're handling all as best you can and your back is bahaving itself. I commend you and your doctors.

You said that stress is a major factor in your daily life. While this is more than understandable, stress does take its toll. I find that meditation or deep relaxation techniques can be quite beneficial. I'm not a guru or anything close but find that I carry too much inside which I'm able to release through this practice.

I wish you and your husband continued success in your recoveries. All my best, Dale
