Taking the good with the bad

The bad: Just found out that the disc herniation has not completely healed, so I have to go back to my neurosurgeon to see what he recommends.

The good: It is significantly better than it was in October, and not causing me near the amount of pain it did then. My primary doc prescribed Celebrex as the anti-imflammatory, and that seems to be helping as well.

Hopefully it will mean just another course of physical therapy - at the worst, perhaps another steroid shot. Now it's a wait and see... I hate waiting. (\PB mode off)
