So with the back issues, the Holidays were a little tough, but I made it through! New year's eve was one of the best nights I've had in a long time. I was also back to work this week and everything is going really well. I plan to stop in at the gym today for the first time since I was hurt... swim a little and lift a little on every machine as best I can without causing any pain.
I'm having an awesome weekend and I'm thrilled with how my surgery is recovering! On top of all of that it's football playoffs and the Pats are in, I got a new car, and I'm down 17.5 pounds. Pretty nice last two weeks! :)
