Today is day 17 in the saga of my back. My MRI revealed that I have 4 herniated discs and all my discs are dehydrating. But this is neither here nor there.

17 days ago I could barely stand, today I actually felt much better. Good enough to walk slowly through our local Hallmark store and do a bit of shopping for Christmas. It felt like physical therapy walking through the store. I took my grand time and it was nice just to be around other people.

I stiffen up every time I stop moving for long, but I'm getting there. Slow and steady will win my race.

Thanks to all my wonderful Spark friends for all your support and well wishes. You are all amazing.
